EBHS English Dept. We are committed to helping our students develop skills and competencies as Critical readers Effective Writers Appreciators of language and style Thoughtful consumers of media Researchers Communicators College and Career Ready
Strengthening our Readers and Writers When students read widely from books they have selected, they are more prepared to discuss books with their peers and to write complex analyses of themes and ideas. What s more, they are motivated to read more (Fisher & Ivey 2007). Reading Instruction: Novel study Literature Circle/Independent Reading Thematic Units If you don t have time to read, you don t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that. --Stephen King Writing Instruction: Literary Analysis Narrative Writing Synthesis Writing
Encouraging Communication Students will actively engage in the learning process and are given ample opportunities to speak, listen, and respond to the ideas of others Small and large-group discussions Developing and posing authentic questions Socratic Seminars Book Clubs Presentations
