Welcome to English Honors 9!

My name is Mary Frost. This is my twenty-ninth year in the teaching profession. I am looking forward to working with you this school year! However, I know that some of you may have a little apprehension about starting high school and being enrolled in an English Honors class, but at the Academy, we are in it to win it! 

 

This year, we will work on enhancing your appreciation for reading, writing, and communicating effectively. Since you are in English Honors, I am counting on you to be a very mature learner.  The best way to succeed in this class is to be effectively engaged in your learning process: be reflective, be authentic, and be responsible for your learning experience. We are going to explore various types of texts that are often extreme, challenging, complex, and thought provoking.  You must be prepare to go "deeper that a muddle puddle" to truly have an appreciate for the selections we will read and analyze. Finally, attitude is everything! I know that English may not be your favorite subject, but I will do my best to help you gain a new appreciation for the power of reading, writing, and rhetoric. These are actually super powers that can help you in many facets of your life.
