I thought you might be interested in the areas of study in Freshmen English. We will be studying all the literary genres, making sure that students understand the terminolgy and structures of each. We will examine essays, biography, autobiography, short story, novel, and poetry. The variety of literature makes this a stimulating class. We will use a variety of texts which I will share with you on back to school night.
I also use a variety of assessments: homework, classwork, quizzes, tests, essays, and projects. I use a point system to give weight to the assignments and make sure the grades are not skewed by a disproportionate number of assignments in a category. Please check the grades on Homelogic weekly to keep track of your son's or daughter's progress. Here's wishing them great growth and success !
