English A

Daily assignments and other essential resources for our English A class are available for students in our Google Classroom. While only students can access the full Classroom, parents and guardians can receive daily or weekly e-mail summaries to follow due dates and student progress. 

Feel free to contact Bernie if you would like to begin receiving those summaries — or with any other questions or suggestions.

Below are specific resources for my sections of the course:

Unit Calendars

Unit 1: What makes a good story? What is my story?

Unit 0: How do I become a critic and builders — not just a consumer — of culture?
