Welcome to English 11!
I'm very excited about this school year! I have lots of exciting things planned to get you to enjoy English class, or at least, not hate it! I plan on including some new technologies, using the Promethean Board, new Web 2.0 tools, even maybe collaborating with other classrooms.
Now, you guys will hear may say this a hundred times this year: You will all be taking the English Regents exam this year! It is the only Regents exam that is 2 days long - multiple choice and 4 essays over the 2 days! BUT- You WILL be ready for it AND you can all do it!! That is our focus for this year.
Two of our favorites this year that we will be covering are: The Crucible by Arthur Miller (about the Salem witch trials) and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I really think you will enjoy them both! We will also be doing some short stories and other literature throughout the year.
Remember, you can always come and ask me for help or anything!
