What do we do?
 
English I is our last class together as a full English class! After this year, students will move to Ms. Dale for sophomore, junior, and senior year English. Throughout our last year, here is a glimpse of what we accomplish:
 
Our textbook includes units on:
American Voices
Survival
The Literature of Civil Rights
Star-Crossed Romances
Journeys of Transformation
World's End
 
We read supplemental books and plays that include:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Fahrenheit 451
Romeo and Juliet 
 
Through each of our units, we critique, analyze, read, write, discuss, explain, argue, evaluate, and prove our own thoughts and findings. We focus on literary analysis, argumentative, and research writing to prepare them for higher level writing they will find in the next three years.
English I takes place during 1st hour.
