English 9 Week of 1/20/15
Week of January 20, 2015
Unit 1: Is Conflict Necessary?
This unit, the first of four, uses the short story as the vehicle for reviewing common literary elements, as well as for appreciating the art of great storytelling. This unit enables students to confirm and hone a common understanding of important literary elements, as well as a shared vocabulary for discussing them. Each story may be used to focus especially on a particular element, such as point of view or symbolism.
Essential Questions:
- Why do we tell stories?
- Why is it important to know and understand the elements of fictional text?
- How do literary elements (i.e., flashback, plot, symbol, suspense, characterization, irony, setting, tone/mood, theme, imagery, point-of-view) play a part in the essence and workings of a short story.
Standards:
- RL.9-10.1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
- RL.9-10.5: Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise.
- W.9-10.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.
- SL.9-10.1: Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9–10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
- L.9-10.5:Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.
Vocabulary to Review:
- Character, characterization
- Figurative language
- Irony (e.g., dramatic, situational, verbal)
- Narrator
- Parable
- Plot (i.e., exposition, rising action, crisis/climax, falling action, resolution/denouement)
- Point of view
- Sensory imagery
- Setting
- Style
- Symbol, symbolism
- Theme
- Tone
- Mood
1/21- "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Read and respond to literature selection.
1/22- Close Analysis of the short story selection
1/23- film vs short story analysis
Tutoring:
Tutoring is available DAILY from 7:50 a.m. to 8:10 a.m. in room 901. I will also offer tutoring after school on Tuesday and Thursdays by appointment.

Semester 2015
COURSE TITLE: Multicultural
Literature INSTRUCTOR: Emily Antwih
PHS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GOALS:
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: Students will demonstrate increased
achievement in writing and reading comprehension in all content areas.
COMMUNICATION:
Increase communication between the school and its stakeholders.
LEARNING GOAL:
We, the community of Pebblebrook High School, believe in the
worth of dignity of all students. Our commitment is to provide a challenging
and meaningful educational program in a secure, disciplined environment where
all students will have the opportunity to gain the essential skills to pursue
gainful employment and/or higher education. Students will be prepared to be
productive citizens in an ever-changing global activity.
.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course focuses on world literature by and about people
of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Students
explore themes of linguistic and cultural diversity by comparing, contrasting,
analyzing, and critiquing writing styles and universal themes. Outside novels,
online articles, grammar and writing mechanics, the comprehensive research
paper, and selected composition assignments comprise the content of the course.
Students will also participate in various
writings and activities to help build a strong foundation for writing and communication
skills. Technology will also be present in our course in various forms and will
require student and teacher participation. Throughout all units, we will
explore the idea of critical literacy. We will analyze the various ways that
the media influences our understanding of “news” and society. We will explore a
network of journalistic texts (newspapers, magazines, radio, video/TV) in order
to give students the opportunity to explore how events and issues are
presented. The units emphasize how to become an active rather than passive
consumer of journalistic texts.

SYNERGY ACCESS TO GRADES:
It is
strongly encouraged that you keep your Synergy login information in a safe
place and that you have access to the information when needed. You will not be given grade reports outside
of the ones provided every six weeks. It is preferable, in order to save paper,
that you and your parents regularly access your grades for all courses through
the Synergy website.
**PARENTS SHOULD CONTACT THE
GUIDANCE OFFICE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THEIR SYNERGY PASSWORD AND ACCESS
INFORMATION.**
Please note that when you are
viewing grades in Synergy that a blank grade column for your child has no
effect on their grade. If the space is
blank your student may not have turned in that assignment due to absence or the

DONATION REQUEST:
Due to limited funding this year, I am asking for donations for the
classroom. Some items for your
consideration:
·
Copy Paper
·
Hand Sanitizer
·
Tissue
·
Multicolored Markers
·
Dry-Erase Markers
CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
1.
Come to class on time
every day ready to participate, engage, and learn.
- Be
kind to one another. Listen to one another and me. We are a community.
- Be
respectful of individual cultural differences and opinions.
- Participation
in class discussion is essential.
- Students
are to bring appropriate materials to class every day.
- Follow
ALL school rules and policies (no food, no headphones, no electronic
devices).
PARTICIPATION:
Class participation is an
important component of this curriculum. Much can be learned from the exchange
of ideas that occurs during class discussions. Frequent absences SERIOUSLY
jeopardize your success in this class. The participation grade will be based on
the degree of student involvement in the learning activities, including
attention to and participation in written and oral exercises, class discussion,
preparation for class, and homework. To
reiterate: If you do not participate in
formal class discussions, you will not receive a passing grade for that activity.
ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP POLICY:
Attendance is ESSENTIAL to your success in this
course. It is YOUR responsibility to come to school and “plug in” to the learning
community. Being here does not mean
simply filling the seat.
A student who is
present and actively participates is more likely to be successful; however, if a student has an excused absence, he/she
has the number of days absent plus one day to make up assigned work. If the student does not make up the work, a
zero will be given for the missed work.
All a student has to do is ASK, and I will be happy to designate a time
for make-up work. Remember, that IT
IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK FOR AND TO MAKE UP ANY MISSED WORK!
Please check the blog for all missed work.
If a student has an
unexcused absence, all work will be assigned a zero in Synergy unless the
absence becomes excused. Remember, that IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
TO ASK FOR AND TO MAKE UP ANY MISSED WORK! Please check the blog for all missed
work.
Any student who misses class for OSS or ISS must turn in his/her work
the day he/she returns to class.
Students in OSS must have their work picked up in the main office.
LATE WORK POLICY:
Late work is frowned upon in an AP course, thus
it is my expectation that you will turn in your work on time and with no
excuses. Late work will be accepted upon completion, but will be subject to a
lowering of the grade. Teacher discretion will govern whether or not you will
be able to turn in late work or makeup work that is late for a reason other
than absence if it becomes obvious that you are abusing policy.
All major assignments/projects will be penalized 10% each day late, up
to nine consecutive days.
Late class work and homework
assignments only receive half credit the next class period.
TARDY POLICY:
To avoid being counted tardy, students
must be seated and ready for class when the bell rings. School
policy states that students may receive Saturday School, In-School Suspension,
and Out-of-School Suspension for repeated tardies. Bottom line: BE ON TIME TO CLASS!
EXTRA HELP:
I am available for extra help
before school from 7:30-8:10 and after school (Tuesday and Thursday) from
3:30-5:00. Mrs. Hathorn is available on
Wednesday morning 7:30-7:55, and Tuesday/Thursday afternoon 3:30-5:00. If this time does not work for you, just let
me know. I AM HERE TO HELP YOU SUCCEED.
CELL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC
DEVICES:
As per
the school’s policy, cell phones are not to be seen during the school day.
Students will receive a discipline referral after one warning to put away any
electronic device (unless the device is being used for instruction). Students
are allowed to bring certain technologies to class (iPad, laptop, Kindle,
etc.), but it should NOT interfere
with the teaching or other’s learning. The first time I will give you a warning
to put away the technology. After the initial warning, you will not be allowed
to bring it to class again.
COMPOSITION REQUIREMENTS:
- All
work should be completed with care and reflect grade level insight.
Illegible work and papers without the proper identification will receive a
zero.
- Student
name, teacher name, class, and date should appear in the upper left-hand
corner of all assignments per MLA style (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/)
- All
final draft essays should follow the standard MLA manuscript format for
written composition. Major writing assignments should be
typed. The Computer Lab (Room 907) and the media center computers
are available before and after school for word processing.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Cheating is considered a serious matter. The parents
of a student who has been involved in cheating will be notified and the student
will receive a grade of zero for the test or evaluation period, and a grade of
U in conduct.
For this course, cheating is
defined as, but is not limited to, the following acts:
- Copying
anyone's answers to questions, exercises, study guides, class work or
homework assignments
- Taking
any information verbatim from any source, including the Internet, without
giving proper credit to the author, or rearranging the order of words
and/or changing some words as written by the author and claiming the work
as his or her own, i.e., plagiarism.
- Looking
onto another student's paper during a test or quiz.
- Having
available any study notes or other test aids during a test or quiz without
the teacher's permission.
- Collaborating
on assignments when independent work is expected.
CLASSROOM BLOG:
Throughout
the year, students are expected to use the classroom blog daily. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check the
blog and come prepared to the next class. All handouts and assignments will be
posted daily to the blog.
My blog: http://pebblebrookhigh.
This blog was established to promote a learning and a writing
community. With this blog, students will learn how to incorporate technology
skills relevant to real-life applications. Students are expected to post their
work as well as comment on each other’s work. Students need to be fully aware
that this site is for educational purposes only and will be actively monitored
by Ms. Coyle.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I am looking
forward to a GREAT semester of learning and fun. You have elected to take a
demanding senior college-level class in the study of English Language Arts. My
expectations of you are high because of your desire to achieve. Avoid
procrastination and shortcuts as they will only hurt your chances of success. This
course requires your diligence and attention. You will succeed as an individual
according to the effort put into the course. Please see me with any concerns or
issues.
