English 12 (Period 3,5,7)

English 12 is a college-preparatory English class with an emphasis on the study of British and world literature. Coursework will focus on the two primary skills of the English curriculum: reading and writing. In addition, students will have frequent opportunities to practice their speaking skills in both formal and informal settings. This is a Common Core standards-based course that is intended to prepare students for the rigors of college-level reading, writing, and speaking, as well as encouraging mastery of the three Raider Goals. Core literature will include: The Epic of Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Frankenstein, and a selection of British poetry. Additional titles may be added to the course, depending on time.

I have taught seniors for almost 25 years and am aware of the challenges facing students at this time in their lives. I have high expectations, but I know that RHS seniors have the potential to meet and exceed them.
