    English 10 is a course designed to continue to develop students’ skills as readers and writers.  We will collaborate to help prepare students for the future.  In tenth grade, it is essential to begin thinking about YOU.  What do YOU want to do?  How do YOU want to act?  Over the course of the year, we will read multiple novels in class.  We will also read and analyze various poems, myths, short stories, and works of nonfiction.  Students will respond to literature through writing projects, conversations, oral presentations, quizzes, and exams.  Students will also be expected to read independently and complete the required responses.  Students will maintain a portfolio showcasing your best writing pieces and growth as a tenth-grade student. All students will become better readers and writers after completing the class if you put maximum effort into all you do.  It will prepare students for life after Peekskill High School.  As long as you come to class with an open mind the material will be interesting and engaging. You should be proud of every assignment you turn in and it should be representative of your best work.  Focus on getting 1% better every day.
