Syllabus

Welcome to English!! I hope you had a great summer and are ready to learn. This year we will be covering a wide range of literature such as: short stories, non fiction, poetry, drama and novels. We will also work on writing and speaking skills as well as reviewing grammer. We will also vary the way we work; there will be times that you will work individually, in pairs, small groups, large groups, or as an entire class. Technology will also be incorporated into our lessons through the laptops in the classroom. With your cooperation and participation, this can be a fun-filled learning experience and a class that you will enjoy coming to each day!!!
