Welcome Back-- It's the 2014-15 School year and everything is shiny and new!

Downey High School Pre-1945

Welcome back to a new year, and pretty much a new and improved school!

This year I will teach an Expository Reading Writing Course (ERWC) English class for seniors and an American Literature class for juniors. Since printing up the class syllabi for  both the ERWC and English 11 classes some minor things have changed.

Here are the links for the updated ERWC Syllabus and the English 11 Syllabus. There is not a tremendous amount of change, but nonetheless it's here so you can modify your class and homework load as needed. Just need to review the highlights and BIG ideas? Check out the syllabus in a cool visual here: Syllabus Visual

I am really looking forward to getting to know you and learning what it is you know and how you will change the way we look out our history and literature.

Here's to a great school year.

Your new favorite teacher,

Mrs. Ordway=
