Introduction to Sophomore English for Parents

The Sophomore English Curriculum is based on American Literature from Revolutionary Times to present. Students will be engaged in reading, analyzing, and writing in many genres. We will be taking a Then and Now approach in which we will examine the relevancy of what we read to the present. There will also be extensive focus on language, grammar, a vocabulary.

A word about grades: I use the point system to give weight to assignments so that grades are not skewed by an inordinate amount of grades in one category. I assess through homework, classwork, quizzes, tests, and projects.

It will be a challenging and rewarding year! I wish your children much growth and success.
