Welcome, oh readers, writers, scientists, and mathematicians, athletes, gamers, artists, amazing human beings all! This year in English class we will expand and strengthen your understanding of how to use words, syllables, sentences and paragraphs, so you can effectively communicate what you want. Because whatever you want to do, and have to do, you must be able to read deeply, write clearly, speak persuasively, and listen intensely. We will read many different types of literature, so you can know what you like and why, and know what you don’t like and why. We will listen to movies, plays, speeches, poetry, and stories, and discover how context, tone, speed, and volume of the spoken word affects you, and how you can speak to effect change in others. We will write to persuade, narrate, and inform, figure things out, find rhythm and rhythm. We’ve got a lot to accomplish, so:
Onwards! |
