-
Understanding the beliefs, norms, and practices of multiple cultures is critical to our young adults' realizing their place in the world, both locally and globally. As they learn to read, derive meaning, analyze, synthesize, and communicate about world-renowned literature and informational text, our students also learn to “show respect for others,” “demonstrate integrity,” “contribute to the community,” “solve problems,” and “apply knowledge” (SPHS Expected School-wide Learning Results) in a myriad of ways. Through this 9th/10th Literature and Composition course, our students are exposed to a new world of adventure, intrigue, social dilemma, and possibility as they continue to develop their skills in reading and writing.

Dear 9th/10th Literature Students,
Just in case you become bored, I thought you could practice some sentence writing. Remember, any assignment before April 6th is voluntary, but these will help you keep up your skills. I hope you are all doing well.
Assignment: Each paragraph can be on a topic of your choice.
- Write one paragraph using only simple sentences.
- Write one paragraph using only compound sentences.
- Write one paragraph using only complex sentences.
- Write one paragraph using a combination of all three types of sentences.
- Answer the following question: Which paragraph is the best? Why?
I know we checked to make sure all of you had your guide sheets, but I have attached them all below (just in case). Have fun.
