Course Overview: Welcome to ELL 3 Literature. This course will focus on building your reading skills, mainly through reading non-fiction and fiction. This will include different types of articles, short stories, poetry and novels. We will review reading strategies that will help you succeed in this class, as well as your other classes. You will be expected to submit written work throughout the year, both in-class and out of class, in addition to the usual ELL assessments. In order to do well in this course and move on to Level 4, you will be expected to meet the guidelines for this level set by the Richmond School District.
In addition to reading, you will be expected to participate in class discussions and activities, including projects and presentations delivered both individually as well as in groups.
