Thank you for challenging yourself by enrolling in English III Honors for the 2010-2011 school year. While you will be responsible for the same knowledge and skills as your peers in the Regents course, you will be expected to do more of your reading outside of class so that more class time can be spent on discussion. Additionally, you will be responsible for independently reading and annotating one related piece of literature for each full-length work read in class, will be required to blog about your independent reading and will write literary analyses and research papers on the paired texts each quarter.
Our hope is that you've made the choice to take Honors English because of a love of literacy. If you are not enthusiastic about reading, writing and related discussion, we urge you to reconsider your choice and discuss your options with your school counselor prior to the add/drop due date. However, if you're committed, we're sure this will be a rewarding and exciting year for you in English class and we're excited to be your guides.
Thank You,
Mrs. Siragusa and Mrs. Schwarzott
