English II

In English II we will:

-Read a variety of short stories, books, poems, plays, and speeches.

-Write a variety of short works, analytical responses, and informative and persuasive papers.

-Learn to apply writing and grammar skills to real-world applications.

Creative Writing

In semester one (fiction):

We will practice writing creatively through short stories, blending genres, and using different themes, alongside maintaining grammar expectations.

In semester two (poetry):

We will practice writing creatively through poems, learning different style techniques and structures, all while maintaining grammar expectations. 

Lastly, for both classes, it is expected of students to maintain appropriate behavior, especially towards each other, so we can all learn and feel accomplished without embarrassment or ridicule.
