10th grade LA is a broad based literacy skills course intended to prepare students for future academic challenges and life in the 21st century. We will tackle a large volume of reading and writing, allowing for both some traditional LA class activities with clear learning value and also for a high degree of student choice. There will be weekly writing drafts due, a blend of group and individual reading assignments, and many different opportunities for students to practice their speaking skills.
