Preparing for the Future
The next few years will fly by for these sophomores. It is important that they use the critical thinking skills that they are creating and honing in this class to prepare for their futures. That is why the research paper for English II is about a career. Students will learn what education it takes to get the job they may want in the future. They will learn the demands of the job, the payscale, the possibilities for advancement, and other important facts about the career while learning research skills that will serve them well in the future. Also during this unit we will explore some non-fiction pieces that will help students explore the day to day decisions that affect them now and in the future.
