ENGLISH 11
Welcome to English 11!
In this class, we will focus on critical thinking, reading, speaking, and writing by diving in to lots of different texts together throughout the year. We will think deeply about language and become skilled readers. You will gain tools to help you be able to understand difficult texts, and you will become comfortable exploring ideas and discussing your ideas with others.
We will also write effectively and CONFIDENTLY!
I'm looking forward to learning with you this year! Welcome to English 11! :)

WHAT WILL WE BE READING?
Although we will do LOTS of reading, writing, and speaking this year with shorter texts, there are four major texts we will all read together:
Students will choose 1 of the books on the right to read OR choose their own novel.
In the Spring, students will choose a topic to explore in-depth and read an independent book related to that topic, as well as shorter articles.
