English 9 Flex

This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery English 9 course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers a full year of English 9 for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course, and may take up to 15 weeks to complete the course. This course is designed for students in grades 9-12.

This course concentrates on three areas of study: literature, language, and writing. Our study of literature will include short stories, poetry, nonfiction, and one novel. You will increase your language skills and polish your grammar skills with vocabulary lists and quizzes. These skills will go hand in hand with the writing lessons, as you work on improving your written communication.

All class materials and assignments are online so you do not have to lug a heavy backpack, pencils, or books to class. The course is just a mouse click away.

“See you” in class!
