= = = Welcome to Mrs. Patton's Wiki Page! =

Welcome! If you are on this page, you are most likely a student in my English-language arts class or someone connected with that student, maybe a parent, grandparent, or guardian. The purpose of this site is to keep you informed about what's going on in my class: the topic(s) we're studying, what assignments we're working on, as well as due dates for reading assignments, tests, and projects. Be sure to navigate to the page for your class.



Here are some of the things you will be studying/learning during first nine weeks.
 * __Among the Hidden__ (project, class discussion, worksheets, test)
 * Short Stories: "The Street," "Thank You, M'am," "The Land and the Water," "Flowers for Algernon"
 * Poetry: "Sea Lullaby," "My Parents Kept Me from Children Who Were Rough," "To an Athlete Dying Young"
 * Literary Terms and Skills: plot elements, conflict, point of view, theme, characterization, allusion, symbol, imagery, tone
 * Fictional narratives, literary analysis paragraphs, writing from different points of view
 * Grammar: verb tenses
 * Vocabulary: Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes; vocabulary from reading selections
