Business English (non-Edgenuity-based course):

This course is not offered as part of the Edgenuity online learning platform, so it will require in-class instruction and project-based-learning to show mastery of the content. Business English is an alternative to English IV, designed to enhance senior students' reading and writing skills in preparation for career & college readiness. Our focus will be on practical writing (such as resumes, cover letters, professional communication, and college-application essays) and on readings tailored as much as possible to students’ chosen career paths and real-world experiences.

To my students: I understand the frustration often expressed by recent high school graduates that very little of what was taught in school has prepared them for the challenges of the career & adult world; this course is specifically designed to provide you with the practical skills you will encounter beyond school.
