ELA+10+Gold+Members

= = =media type="custom" key="1810615"= = = =Welcome to ELA 10 - Gold Club Members!= Gold club members in ELA 10 have already spent a year in grade 10 ELA, but really wanted to increase their knowledge by spending yet another year in the course. As with any frequent flyer or credit card user, you have been upgraded to Gold status because of your new found dedication to passing ELA 10. At times you will be working right along with my regular ELA 10 students, but we will be reading different novels than last year. So you will not be boarded.

Another major benefit of the Gold Club Member will be trying your hand at the Regents Exam in ELA in January. Since your cohort is taking the exam, you will also be taking it. The entire first semester we will be working on skills for the exam. You will be very prepared for the exam if you invest time in yourself and this class.

This year we will be completeting four major thematic units and continue literature circles every Friday.

This page will have a ton of information including audio, video, and PowerPoint information you will need for class. Enjoy looking around and if you are ever interested in how this technology works...just ask.

We will be working to master the following skills for the ELA Regents Exam:
