 English II, English II Honors, and Speech

 

 

During these uncertain times, it is important that we have multiple ways to communicate. Please make sure you join the Remind group and Google Classroom for your assigned class. 

 

 **I encourage all parents / guardians to join my Remind group AND send me an email to [email protected] with your name and your student's name so that I can invite you into my Google Classroom to see announcements.

 

I have created a group for each class in the REMIND APP. I will send reminders to students using REMIND and this page on my website. Instructions for joining the REMIND class groups are as follows

The 2021-2022 school year has begun.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with exciting and enriching assignments and activities.  We will be enhancing our critical reading skills through annotating contemporary published essays, novels, etc...  We will also conduct Socratic seminars and analyze and evaluate our readings through dialectic journals.  Of course we will be advancing our writing skills through the advanced writing process.  Additionally, we will complete units from the official College Board Pre-AP program, SpringBoard, focusing on the state standards. Throughout the year, we will be preparing for the End of Course test (LEAP 2025) and the PLAN test / ACT test.  As you can see, we will be working very hard to achieve our desired success.

 

This is a rigorous class and requires students to maintain a positive and strong work ethic. 

PLAN / ACT will be given in April.

EOC/LEAP WILL BE GIVEN IN EARLY MAY.  DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED (This counts for 15% of final grade.)

NOTE TO PARENTS:  Due to the depth and expanse of the content of this class, often modifications to benefit the students are made to the posted lesson plans.  Therefore, if your child is absent, please have him or her ask for missed assignments upon his or her return either before school, at the beginning or end of class, or after school. Also, due to the involved and complex assignments, grading generally takes longer. 

 

SUPPLIES NEEDED for English classes:  These are to be replenished throughout the school year as needed.

  • Blue pens
  • wide ruled loose-leaf paper
  • 1 pocket folder with holes to keep Springboard book units organized and for protection from tearing
  • 2 composition notebooks
  • sticky notes
  • Sharpie / highlighter
  •   (Novels will be announced soon.)
  • Independent novels will be required.  Students will be given a list.

*****STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING SUPPLIES TO CLASS EACH DAY.  THIS IS A SCHOOL EXPECTATION.  Failure to do so will result in an infraction.
