Welcome to English 10

Hello,

Welcome to English 10. The purpose of English 10 is to help you develop better writing, comprehension, and communication skills. These skills will help you to communicate your thoughts in a manner that is clear to the reader. Read this page carefully, as it contains information that will help you in class.

EVERYONE MUST READ!!!

Things that will make this class easier for you:

  • Read the Policy on Plagiarism
  • Once you have completed the assessment, decide now on the books you plan to read (Click here to preview Lesson 19)
  • Know the FAQs
  • Links to help your writing skills

When working on your lessons use the following guidelines:

  • Proofread and spell check all your work. Be sure to use proper English.
  • Respond to all requests for revisions.
  • It is not acceptable to use lazy English such as the words "cuz" for "because" or "wanna" for "want to".
  • If you are writing a story where you want to illustrate a particular dialect or mode of speech, words such as "cuz" should be noted with quotation marks ('' ").
  • Each sentence should begin with a capital letter and end with a period, question mark, or exclamation point. Proper punctuation is important!
  • The pronoun "I" is always capitalized.

Remember, this is an English class and the rules of English apply.  These are the rules that you have learned during your early years so there is no need to bore you with them again.  However, if you are uncertain about the proper use of English there are links to English grammar in this class that you can refer to or you can ask me.  Thank you.
