9th Grade English for Homeschoolers

9th grade is the year to make it count! Everything students do end up on a high school transcript. At this point, it's time to leave behind the basic book summaries and five-paragraph essays and move up to the big leagues. In this class, we're going to cover grammar concurrent to reading literature and writing. Each week, class will start with a warm-up exercise to review/introduce concepts and allow students time to get into the classroom.  My teaching style is very conversational, but structured. My goal is to make class as interactive as possible, but cover the necessary topics. Discussion will be a big part of the class and all students will be encouraged, but not required to participate.
