TWENTY-FOUR HOUR ACCESS. ANY CLASS.
Classes will be reading American Literature book beginning with the 1700's and moving towards contemporary times. They will be reading and writing poetry, essays, and studying vocabulary. The student must cooperate in class and do all work when in school in order to achieve good grades since there is no homework. Teacher goes over all work with students to reinforce learning.
Lower level classes will be working on short stories, Expressions One book, poetry, and vocabulary. Students go over 90% of the work with the teacher. There is no homework so classwork and class participation are a must.
We will be reading short stories, essays, and poems by African and African-American authors. The students will not be getting homework, but they will be asked to do 100% of the work in order to pass the class. The students will learn about the recurring themes, characterizations, settings and ironies in this literature. They will also learn vocabulary and answer comprehension questions based on the selections. In addition, the students will write essays and answer open-ended questions, which will be on the HSPA. For those students who have already passed the HSPA, there will be alternative, independent assignments.
