Welcome, Class of 2018!
ELA 9: Ramp Up is additional instruction supplementing your academic classes, primarily through helping you improve your reading, writing, and literacy (vocabulary/grammar, etc.) skills.
Each day you will be expected to read independently or in small reading groups (book groups). Additionally we will engage in a plethora of literacy techniques that will improve your academic skills. This week is all about getting to know you a little better, so that I can design a plan that works for you.
Let's start by reading a short essay. You may choose either essay (or both) to read. After reading silently, we'll pair up, analyze a bit, then discuss these articles as a class and see if anything resonates with you.
After that, we'll discuss the fine points of the class. Please sign your name on the portfolio given to you, and complete the short questionnaire.
Finally, as an end to our class you will be asked to write a short essay response and turn this in as your "baseline" writing piece so I can get to know your thinking and writing a little better.
