Welcome to Mrs. Rooker's English class!
This is an exciting time to be a student at Lincoln High! You will have a wide variety of opportuinties to learn new things, and to practice and build upon the skills you now have. You will find this class a great help to meeting your Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals.

English - 10 is a class that combines literature and composition--in other words, you will work on both reading and writing. The focus of the writing activities will be to learn to compose paragraphs and stories that connect with transition sentences to tell your story, and to present your research to your audience in an interesting format. You will also use your writing skills to enhance your reading comprehension.

Last year you began working on **//Words Their Way//,** and you will continue using this individualized curriculum to build your reading vocabulary and comprehension skills. We will also use books, activities and projects to help us develop an appreciation of what literature offers the reader and our understanding of others and the world.

English - 10 is designed to provide you with an interesting and challenging curriculum to prepare you for your adult life. It can only work if you join in the goals of the class and make them happen. Please use your time in class wisely, and challenge yourself to grow and learn as much as you can! I also ask you to challenge me to help you grow and learn what you need to know to succeed in college and your workplace after graduation from Lincoln High//!//
