Mrs. Noselli’s 11th Grade English Overview Welcome! August 29/30 Mrs. Noselli’s 11th Grade English Overview

Do now… Complete the WELCOME page. Thoroughly answer one of the questions on the back. I will collect them.

Here’s what to expect… Daily, you will find something to ‘do’ on the promethean. Take a seat and begin work. It could be a journal entry, a grammar assignment, independent reading, etc. Generally, a brief lesson will follow. Time for guided work/completing class work/beginning homework.

Supply List NOTE: NO composition books or pages torn from them! You do not need a spiral notebook either. Loose leaf paper, binder, and dividers are perfect! Honors: Issue text book for home

What we will read… If you CAN, purchase/borrow copies of the texts listed as we go through. We may NOT get to all of them so don’t buy ahead unless you really want to build a great American Lit library!
