August 11 - 15, 2014

Welcome!

On this site you'll find a breakdown of each week's lesson plans and activities for English 11.  Assignments and due dates will always be listed in red.  You can access class handouts through the "Course Materials" section located on the top right of this site.  If you have any questions or comments regarding the things you'd like to see on this site, call me at WRHS or e-mail me at ritchjoh@usd437.net

This year is an exciting one for us as we are rolling out a new English/Language Arts curriculum and textbook adoption throughout all of USD 437.  The English 11 curriculum offers more opportunities for integrating technology with reading and writing activities.  Students, for example, will have 24/7 access to their digital textbook that will allow them to read, highlight, take notes, and complete assignments from any online device.  This site is also linked under the Course Materials section.  All of us will be adapting to and discovering how to make the most of these opportunities throughout the year.

This first short week is a chance for us to get to know one another, as well as to discuss the policies, procedures, and expectations of the class.


  • Mon: Teacher work day
  • Tues: Teacher work day
  • Wed: New student orientation
  • Thurs: Introductions and getting to know one another
  • Fri: Finish introductions.  Course overview, expectations, and procedures discussion.  Complete the technology survey online by Monday.
