Contemporary Composition
In this class, we will analyze the works of contemporary writers by taking a closer look at their style, the devices they use, and other writing strategies in order to learn to develop our own writing further.
What books are we using? We will use materials provided by our school district that has been organized around themes for young adults. However, supplemental reading material (other readings not in our book) may be added from time to time.
We will work diligently in groups that have been created based on information provided by your CST results. This will allow us to hone in (target) on your specific skill deficiency. You will work at different stations that will target the English Language Arts content standards that show up frequently on the CST.
Wait, Mr. Tejada! I'm not in elementary school! What's up with these "stations"? I know that's what you may be thinking. Trust me. By separating you into groups, we can really pick apart the work and move forward. It's going to take your hard work, my hard work, and, most importantly, everyone's cooperation.
Thank you in advance!
