| Description: | The term “English class” is a long outdated misnomer. What students need is a class focused on the skills needed to read with strong comprehension, write clearly and effectively and to think independently, both deeply and critically. After all, our students already speak the English language with considerable proficiency. What they require is the guidance to wield that knowledge powerfully and wisely.
To that end, this class will focus on these specific areas: a growing love of reading, constant improvement of comprehension skills and sharper discernment regarding the material they read. Along the way, students will be introduced a variety of rhetorical and literary techniques as well as the steps of the writing process, which they will not only learn to recognize but also have the opportunity to apply. Though this class is not a focused literary class students will be asked to ready, analyze and discuss specific texts (including news articles) on a regular basis.
The class will meet twice weekly for 50 minute sessions. Because classroom time is limited, our meeting will target activities that cannot be outside of class i.e., mini-lessons, classroom discussions, etc. |
