Welcome to English II
The new Core curriculum standards explain why it is necessary for students to be fully informed and ready with the necessary skills by the time they exit high school. This one year course is designed to do just that. Throughout the course of the year, you will be reading literature from all genres, both fiction and non fiction, and you will be analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating, and criticizing literature, while developing the skills that you need to engage the world around you.
This course is designated as an honors class, and will be delivered in such manner. Please, read your course expectations and your notes and information in order to follow clearly what we shall cover for each of the semesters. In addition to all of these, we shall cover activities in grammar, language usage and mechanics, and also series of vocabulary building concepts. Please, feel free to make inquiries about some major works that you might find interesting. If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to call or email me. I guarantee you that this year will be a fulfilling and rewarding year for all of you. So, let's work together to make that change that is highly desired. |
