Welcome to Ms. Caldwell’s Class!
Welcome to Ms. Caldwell’s class! Below are the course descriptions for my 1st, 3rd, and 4th period classes:

This literature and composition course includes the following units of varied genre based studies: Introduction to Multicultural Literature, Education, Family, Defining Ourselves, American Encounters, and Communication. Georgia Performance Standards that are grade-level appropriate are incorporated into this course: writing, conventions, listening, speaking, viewing, and reading across the curriculum. The literature also provides an exciting array of notable contemporary writers whose unique perspectives create powerful connections for all students.

This literature and composition course is a survey course that reviews various literary periods in British history. Our semester theme is an exploration of Good vs. Evil as exemplified in our personal experiences as well as in various forms of British literature.
9th Grade Literature ( 4th Period) Caldwell/Young
The introduction and identification of the principles of Literature and Composition; with an emphasis placed on recognizing literary genres, critical thinking and analysis, speaking and listening, writing, word usage, and grammar. At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to read and understand different genres of literature, think critically, recognize vocabulary terms and grammar, and apply and connect literature to everyday life.
