Ms. Freeman's English III Course

Introduction

Hello! To give a brief introduction of myself, my name is Hailey Freeman and this is my third year in education. It is my first year here at Redwater ISD and I am very, very excited to be here and teach.

Education wise, I earned my Bachelor's in English with a minor in Communications at HSU and am currently a Master's student at TAMUT - I will eventually have a Master's in both English (literature focused) and one in Instruction & Curriculum. However, my first love is the classroom and even with those, I plan on staying an instructor for as long as possible. Additionally, I am a writer. Several short pieces have been published in journals and it is something I'm very proud of, and I encourage any writers you may have at home to do the same. I am more than willing to help try and get your students published if they are interested.

I am also the UIL Ready Writing & Literary Critique coach.

Outside of teaching, my hobbies including reading, writing and playing video games. I also have a senior dog and she is quite literally my entire world.

Course Descriptions

Honors English III

This course is designed to help students become skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and rhetorical contexts and to become skilled writers who can compose for a variety of purposes. Through their writing and reading in this course, students should become aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effective writing. A research paper is required. Advanced English 3 students are expected to read independently in multiple genres from American literature. Periods from American literature may include the pre-colonial period, colonial and revolutionary periods, romanticism and idealism, realism and naturalism, early 20th century, and late 20th century.

English III

Students practice all forms of writing in this course. An emphasis is placed on business forms of writing such as the report, the business memo, the narrative of a procedure, the summary or abstract, and the resume. English 3 students read extensively in multiple genres from American literature. Periods from American literature may include the pre-colonial period, colonial and revolutionary periods, romanticism and idealism, realism and naturalism, early 20th century, and late 20th century. Students learn literary forms and terms associated with selections being read. Students interpret the possible influences of the historical context on a literary work.

Be aware that reading is subject to change at my discretion. Things may be swapped or changed if I feel something may serve the students better.
