Welcome to Mrs. Brodbeck's classroom! Here you will find multiple links important for success in our classroom. English 9 Plus is an all year English and reading course. The goal of the English 9 Plus course is to improve student academic achievement in all content areas through focused literacy training, to create a more positive 9th grade experience, and to prepare students for rigorous Keystone exam in 9th grade. The class focuses on reading comprehension and fluency across content areas, literary interpretation, vocabulary knowledge, and diversified writing, including research. This course uses both classroom and technology to promote pleasurable reading for students. Selection criteria for this class include Lexile score, PSSA scores in reading, and/or teacher recommendation. This course is two semesters and consists of two credits.
Along with English 9 Plus, I also teach a Freshman English Composition Course. This course is an intensive writing course geared toward helping students advance their writing ability and also to prepare for the 9th grade Keystone writing exam. More information on this course can be found in the above tab labeled "Composition Schedule" or at the Mustang Online Writing Center.
Please feel free to email me ([email protected]) with any questions or concerns! I look forward to getting to know you and your child this year.
Book Log - Remember, I am looking for finishing at least two novels a marking period. These two book logs will be worth 40 points together. I will grade them at the end of each marking period. If you need help finding a book, just ask!
How prepped are you?
