English IV

Welcome to Transitional English IV with Ms. Rymut

CPS Course Description: In English IV, students will engage in grade-level Common Core State Standards (CCSS) aligned reading and writing practices, through a wide range of literary and informational texts that will prepare them for post-secondary experiences. Students will engage in practices to support their mastery of the CCSS for Writing in their grade band and express themselves in multiple writing formats including narratives, investigative reports, literary analyses, and research papers. Students in English IV will employ academic English in discussion that align with CCSS for Speaking & Listening.

 

English Team Mission Statement: The English team believes wholeheartedly in every student’s ability to learn. We nurture our students’ potential with teaching approaches that value equity, meaningful collaboration, engagement in purposeful work, global citizenship, and student voice. Our classrooms are safe spaces that foster accountability and allow students to take intellectual risks and make sense of the world. We believe that being scholarly means we value progress over perfection, and we celebrate all successes. Above all, our supportive team seeks to use our varied experiences and strengths to uplift and equip students by creating a family atmosphere that emphasizes mutual growth, where everyone feels valued and included in the process.
