Hello!
Thank you for visiting our English I class website!

This year's English course focuses on reading, writing and communicating skills that develop students into independent and responsible students and young people. We focus on reading at an interpretive and critical level: we focus on reading strategies, building vocabulary, as well as comparing/contrasting multi-genred texts.

Writing in English I becomes something personal yet analytical/critical: we write memoirs, literary criticism and other literary analyses, poetry, narratives, plays, and more. The course reading focuses mostly on novels, although there are several short stories, poems and plays that are read to connect the themes and issues of the novel**.**

The tabs on the left will link you to our **Homework** calendar, as well as handouts, vocab, etc. Feel free to email if a question arises.

Thanks for being involved in English I, Mr. Rothstein
