english I
ADHS English courses offer new and profound ways to explore the varieties of reading, writing and speaking available to the twenty-first century student. Sophomore English focuses on World Literature (i.e. not American and British), Junior English is an American primer, and finally, during your senior year you will delve into British literature. But if all of these demonyms are taken, where do we stand in Freshman English? This semester, I’m excited to be able to share with you a sampling of literature to prepare you (at least in some part) for all of the English classes that you will take part in over the next few years during your high school career. As well, we will begin work on a foundation for scholarly writing, public speaking, enhanced vocabulary, and strengthened group learning skills.
