English 10
In Trimester 1 of English 10, students learn reading, writing, and listening and speaking skills to help them become stronger learners. Students participate in daily class meetings to build relationships, write in journals to practice writing mechanics, develop reading fluency by reading and analyzing a novel of choice, develop a project and the share idea using technology, read the informational text Mindset by Carol Dweck, and write an argumentative essay and create group media presentation to answer the question “How can thinking differently help prevent teenagers from giving up?” All of this learning will take place through a blended classroom environment, which means that assignments will be shared and submitted using online tools--primarily Google Apps for Education. However, students and the teacher also balance this screen time with plenty of face-to-face communication and hands-on experiences. Students will learn so much!
