Hello! I am Mr. Borja, and I look forward to a fun and exciting year as your English Language Arts teacher. We will be reading a variety of genres including fiction, non-fiction, persuasive texts, poetry and drama. In addition to reading many genres, we'll also learn how to write narratives, argumentative and research based essays and prompts. This is your classroom and your experience for you to learn about yourself as you become a young adult.
