Welcome to English 1 Honors!
This page is the "home base" for our class.  
Make sure to select the other "Students" pages above too!

         The primary goals of this Honors course are to help students improve their reading, writing, and ultimately critical thinking skills  through the study of literature and the writing process. Throughout the year, we will  be learning from a plethora of novels, novellas, plays, non-fiction articles, short stories,  poems, films, documentaries, and visual texts that cover a vast array of topics. All work will be done within a “Universal Concept” that organizes the learning!  
        All assignments are based on the new Common Core Standards  and are designed to provide students with opportunities to become college and career ready through the practice of  academic language in classroom discussions and written responses, critical thinking, scholarly writing, rigorous reading, and  technological integrations throughout.
