For English class, I have Ms. Hunter. She teaches most of 9th grade. You can find her on the Wood-Ridge school website here. She has many helpful resources. An example is the Worldy Wise website. When we hand in papers, we put it through turnitin. Turnitin is the leading originality checking and plagiarism prevention service used by millions of students and faculty, and thousands of institutions worldwide. Turnitin encourages best practices for using and citing other people's written material.
In English class, I expected to learn how to improve my writing skills. In the beginning of the year I was eager to read the books and stories that were chosen for the class. One of my favorite stories was Romeo and Juliet and my favorite book was Speak.
Technology is used a lot in English class. We use the computers for STAR testing and PARCC practice. Also when we write essays, we use Google docs. One of my favorite projects that we used google docs/drive for was our PSA commercial. Here is my group's presentation. Here is our video.
