Do you need help "Surviving High School English?"

High school English classes are often challenging for many students; between reading complex literature selections, trying to understand grammar and mechanics, and working on essay composition, students can frequently feel overwhelmed.  However, one teacher is hoping to reduce some of the challenges students face in English classes.  Mrs. Bias, who normally provides instruction for English 10, English 11, and English 12 courses has developed a website entitled "Surviving High School English." The purpose of this website is to provide students, parents, and other teachers with resources appropriate for high school English courses.

According to Mrs. Bias, her main motivation for developing this website was student absenteeism and the constant struggle students face managing and organizing handouts.  This website functions to provide students with handouts and assignments that may have been missed due to absenteeism or lost due to a lack of organization.  She also hopes that her website will function as a way to reinforce concepts taught in the classroom by providing materials and links where students may practice difficult concepts.  Lastly, she plans to use it as a resource to communicate classroom content to parents.

On her website, there are links to different categories including writing, literature, grammar and mechanics, independent reading, vocabulary, independent study, and tips for students.  Under each category, there are links to helpful information, and printable resources . She does not plan on adding any new categories, but plans to add more resources under each category.  Mrs. Bias encourages all of her current students to visit her webpage and utilize these resources.

This guide is  for grades 9-12, and it is not intended for use by sub-freshmen, although it may be useful for them as well. Go check out the "Surviving High School English" website at www.brookebias.weebly.com.
