ENG+II

Parents and Students:

Welcome to ENG II! Hopefully you have read my letter of introduction and have perused the syllabus for this year. Just as a reminder, literature will be taught thematically while incorporating the 6+1 Traits writing program for literature response/analysis writing.

I will be updating this page weekly, but it should not replace the student's agenda. It is the responsibility of the student to write down his/her homework.

Every Monday students will be responsible for writing down SAT vocabulary from the list on the front board. Every Friday there will be a quiz covering these prefix/suffix lists.
