Welcome to English 9 with Miss Krzyzanowski at Country Day School for the 2018 – 2019 School Year

What’s 9th Grade English all about? Learning – exploring – journeying! We will read works (fiction & non-fiction) that show other’s journeys through life and the lessons that they learned. While reading these works, you will create works about your own journeys and research others. In addition, you will become a stronger reader, writer, communicator, speller, and more!

What do I expect while on this journey? Be respectful of yourself & others. Be accountable for your actions. Be purposeful with your actions. Be present in our moments together. What do do these expectations look like?
