English 10

Course Description

We will cover the curriculum standards: exploring grammar, literature, informal and informative texts. My expectation is that you will participate in your learning process with curiosity and authenticity. I will lead the class in instruction and lecture, we will also participate in group work and discussion, partner work, independent seat work, and project-based learning exercises. In various units, there will be an opportunity for student-led discussion and individual assignments to demonstrate understanding. Students will have the opportunity for self-assessment as well as for teacher guidance and assessment throughout the course. 

The materials include texts that are high quality and engaging, and provide students opportunities to work with texts at the appropriate level of rigor with depth and complexity. Questions and tasks students work with are consistently linked to texts and provide ongoing practice in grade-level reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. Throughout the units of study, students are exposed to a variety of texts that assist students in answering the unit’s Essential Question. This challenges the traditional use of text in specific grades and allows students to be exposed to a variety of subjects and themes. Genres include memoirs, blog posts, essays, short stories, novel excerpts, news articles, poems, and drama.
