English II

Welcome to English II!!!

English II offers a wide variety of literature. Students will have the opportunity to explore literature from different countries and time periods. Students will also explore the ocean and its wonders through literature selections. English II students must also prepare for the North Carolina 10^th Grade Writing Test. As they prepare, they will be addressing issues such as the effects of oil spills, the causes of global warming and the effects of hurricanes on the coastal states. This topic will give them a better understanding of the ocean as well as writing.

A quick note. I use megaupload to upload my powerpoints and other documents. They are safe files that I have checked myself. All you need to do is punch in a 3 letter code, and wait 40 seconds.
