English 9 is a challenging and rewarding course. Journals, essays, reflections, creative and timed writings will help students become stronger writers. In this year-long course, students will read a variety of texts with themes including coming of age, hero’s journey, search for identity, and role of community. Students will develop their ability to analyze and interpret texts. Students will also learn the features of paragraphs and essays. Final products include literary analysis, narrative, and expository essays. By practicing and participating, students will grow as writers, readers, and thinkers.
