Hello Matadors, Well, this is a very strange time for all of us. I hope we can work together this year to get as much out of our education while we are away from our school site. Students can use some time while away from the school site to reflect on their learning. Many of us may have already discovered that there are challenges that exist at home while completing school virtually. Our focus and determination are more important than ever. This moment, an "unprecedented time" is called such because most people on earth have not experienced life during a pandemic. Everyone is affected in one way or another. (Part of the word, pandemic means "all, every, whole, all-inclusive," from Greek pan-). Students last spring really surprised me during the last quarter of our quarantine, distance learning. They took on some real challenges both at home and their classes. Many created some stellar work. I am looking forward to seeing the growth and creativity of students in language arts.

Tenth Grade Language Arts is a survey course that examines short stories, novels, non-fiction, poetry and other genres. Students will be using Pearson's My Perspectives for most readings in class. The course allows students to become familiar with a variety of authors and diverse styles. Students will also read their own independent reading selections and articles related to research. Students are expected to develop skills through scholarly discussions, writings, and presentations. Students will complete assignments as exemplars of skill, creativity, and persistence.
