English 11 and English 12 will be the course of study during the 2006-2007 school year.  English 11 will encompass American Literature; English 12 includes Short Story composition and Mythology. In addition to teaching grammar, vocabulary and literature, technology has been integrated  into my curriculum. At the end of the year, my goal is to have each and every student walk away with a portfolio that includes two power-point presentations and resume.
