=//Welcome to English 9 with Mrs. Maxson//=

**Course Description:** English 9 emphasizes reading, writing, speaking and listening, language, and media and technology. Students will develop these skills through the study of literature and the application of literacy skills to a range of print materials and other sources of media, including the internet and films. In addition to literacy skills, students will become aware of their own learning styles and thinking processes in order to become more effective learners. ** Materials: ** · You will need a notebook or loose-leaf paper for taking notes and a writing instrument daily. · You will need a method of organization, such as a three-ring binder, portfolio, or two-pocket folder. · As we study literature, you will be expected to bring the book or anthology we are using to class with you daily.

** Expectations: ** · Follow the guidelines in the Student Handbook, including the following: arrive on time, be prepared for class, treat others with respect. · Participate in your learning by engaging in class activities and completing assignments. · Written assignments must be typed. You are responsible for keeping electronic copies of your work.
