Students will explore the study of literary genres such as memoir, drama, and nonfiction. Students will analyze literature from diverse authors and read analytically and hone their skills for college and career readiness. Emphasis is placed on the analysis, synthesis and evaluation of text. In this course, students will continue their study of narrative, literary analysis, and persuasive writing techniques. A blend of independent reading, book clubs, and whole-class novels will be employed.

    Homework must be handed in on time for full credit. I will accept homework one day late for half credit. When absent, please get your homework in as soon as possible. All the work you miss when absent will be located in your class folder.

     0’s will be placed in the grade book for missing assignments. This policy stands even if you are absent.
