Mrs. Friend

English 9 & 10

Our Focus this year:

Reading

This year we will read from a variety of texts and genres.  We will feast on the words of Shakespeare, attempt a new recipe to find the truth in the news, taste small bits of short stories, and larger chunks of novels.  All of this reading will satiate our hunger for answers to questions like, "Can I be the hero of my own story?" and "What is my identity as I am coming of age in this ever changing world?"

Expressing thoughts and ideas through writing is an essential skill in the 21st Century.  Through daily practice and refinement, we will strengthen our writing muscles.

Writing

Speaking & Listening

Developing the ability to listen to those around us with the intent to understand, analyze, and engage will broaden our world view.  Responding effectively will allow for open and honest communication on both sides of the table.  Expressing ourselves with clarity and honesty will empower us as we continue on our path to become our best selves.
