English 10 addresses all aspects of communication: reading, writing, and speaking. The literature focuses on works by authors from around the world. Vocabulary and grammar are emphasized as necessary components of successful communication in writing and speaking. Writing permeates all aspects of the course, ranging from expressionistic journal writing to research based essays.

Homework will consist mainly of vocabulary workbook activities, reading texts and completing reading guides or journals on the reading. 

It is my expectation that all students excel in this class. If you feel you are struggling, please see me at once. I am available for extra help, and will be honored to assist you.

An exemplary attendance record is crucial for success here at CVCC, as well as in the business world for which you are being prepared. Please make every effort to be present each day, on time, and with a positive attitude.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A YEAR OF LEARNING AND GROWTH WITH YOU!
