Welcome, students, parents, and guardians! This is the class website for my English 1 and English 2 courses at J.D. Clement Early College High School. On this website, you will find unit plans, helpful links, our course syllabus, and links to zoom classes. Please contact me if you need assistance with anything or if you would like to set up an appointment.
Required Materials: A planner/agenda and lots of post-it notes (preferably ones that students can write on as opposed to the see-through ones). ***Because we will be entirely online for the fall semester, students will complete their work digitally. However, students are welcome to take hard-copy notes in a journal or in a binder if that helps them to learn. My only required supply, beyond a planner, is post-it notes so that students can flag passages of novels that they read and jot down notes in order to prepare for class discussions.***
