High School English: English III, Semester II (11th Grade-Junior)
Class experience
US Grade 11
Hello students and parents! I am so excited for our English III class together. Whether you are new-to-me or one of the wonderful students who has taken my Grammar, English I, and/or English II classes, welcome! You do not need to have taken English I or II to take this course; however, students should be familiar with basic literary terms such as metaphor, simile, hyperbole, etc. I will provide each student with a list of foundational vocabulary words in case they need a memory refresher...
Students will learn the required skills determined by national and state standards for English III, Semester I. Students will develop skills and strategies required to succeed on nationally standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and AP exams.
I have a degree in English as well as many years of experience teaching high school English. I have extensive specialized training in Curriculum and Instruction. I have written the English curriculum for three public high schools and one private school. My students consistently perform above the 90th percentile on state and national standardized tests.
Homework Offered
This class will meet live 2 times per week. There will be two hours of required homework outside of class each week. This may include online quizzes and tests, workbook activities, projects, and pre-recorded classes. Some students may also need to dedicate extra study time for challenging material, tests, and projects.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students will be assessed via quizzes, tests, and essays on Google Forms. There will be some video submissions requested for projects and introductions. We will use FlipGrid for video submissions.Grades Offered

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
All of our readings this semester will be non-fiction. Many of the essays and short stories have occurrences of violence, drug abuse, and mental anguish. The novel Unbroken is a biography about an Olympian-turned-POW during WWII. We will be reading the novel that has been adapted for young adult readers, but it does still include moments of violence, war, imprisonment, and war-time trauma. There are a few "mild" curse words. Themes such as eugenics, ptsd, and triumph of the human spirit are discussed.
All of our class materials can be found online for free; however, I will compile them into a printable .pdf file that can be printed at the beginning of the semester. Students are not required to have a hard copy of the reading materials; however, it is recommended.
