ENGLISH 10A:SH Assignments

Instructor
Elizabeth Grofsky Ramos
Term
Fall 2006
Department
English
Location
M109
Description
The major purpose of this course is to provide a balanced language arts program that explores literary themes and genres. A series of language activities will enable students to listen, speak, think, and write about literature and connect literature to their own experiences. Through literature-based units students focus on central issues, discuss meaning, and argue interpretations. English 10AB meets the tenth-grade English requirement for graduation and fulfills the "b" requirement of the UC/CSU Subject Area Requirements.
This is a 10th grade Sheltered English class. This class is worth the same number of units as a 10th grade English class. The difference is the style of teaching used to teach the class. I will use SDAIE techniques in the class giving your student a better opportunity to understand the content material. My number one focus is to have your student pass the CAHSEE test.
Students will receive weekly report cards to keep you updated on their progress.
 
Please call me on my cell phone if you have any questions, 818-693-9696.
