11th Grade English
Welcome to 11th Grade English!
English 11 focuses on strengthening and developing students' skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This year is important as it is the year that students take the SBAC. This test helps determine college placement in English and Math classes when applying to four-year school in California. Throughout the year students read influential pieces of American literature and analyze them to learn how the United States of America has been shaped and/or influenced through writing.
