Greetings,
I am pleased to be teaching English 9 to our PHS freshmen this year. All information about the class is contained in our Google Classroom. If you are a parent, please contact me if you need specific information about the course or your student's performance.
From our Course Catalog:
Petaluma High School maintains a rigorous and relevant first year English experience for all freshmen.
From the PHS English Dept. website, with more information to come soon:
Ninth grade English is a required, year-long literature-based course to develop and refine the skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards. Emphasis is on reading, writing, and critical thinking, as well as speaking and listening. Students will read a variety of literary genres (novel, biography, poetry, short stories, plays, essays, and non-fiction) from the District's approved core literature list, develop strategies for reading comprehension, and improve writing conventions. Writing is a major component of the course. This course meets the subject area - b requirement for the UC/CSU approved course list.
