English 9

This English Language Arts class is designed to increase your communication skills through reading, writing, speaking, and the study of the English language. Our primary focus in Language Arts will be the mastery of different writing styles, demonstration of the rules of grammar, and the ability to express oneself effectively through various mediums of communication in direct correspondence to the Common Core State Standards. This year students can expect to read a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts including novels, short stories, dramas, poetry, and essays. These writing pieces will model the different writing styles we will be working on ourselves.
