9th Grade English
This class is designed to help incoming freshmen to write clearly and precisely, analyze texts (fiction and non-fiction) and to strengthen grammar skills. Each unit will be organized into themes, which will allow for students to see a connection between their reading and writing and the world around them. The units will take them on a journey from Cultural Awareness, Self Awareness, Societal Awareness, Discovery of Self, What is a Hero, and Giving to Others. This will mirror their journey into high school and how they will grow as students and young people that will be successful and confident members of our society.
