Teacher: Danny Farrell & Christopher Wegner
Description: This dynamic team-taught course aims to offer the flexibility and interest-specialization students desire in an English class. Designed to be a fluid classroom, the coursework will flow differently each day and each week as two teachers hone in on individual and group experiences. The curriculum includes (but is not limited to) insights into the ways authors use diction, imagery, symbolism and allusion, as well as character and plot development. Students will practice reading analytically and writing coherent responses to what they read. Reading comprehension, vocabulary development and speed-reading will be taught, as well as grammar, rhetoric, paragraph development, thesis formation, and the writing process including proofreading and editing. Homework.
