| | | English Department |  | Welcome to Ramsey's English Department!
The English Department offers Pre AP/ IB Prep English 7 and 8, Journalism and Creative Writing. Selected students may be scheduled
into Read 180 or AMP reading to improve their reading skills.
Reading and writing continue to be high priorities in all of our classrooms. We plan our standards-driven curriculum so that students of different teachers study the
same subjects each semester. We all work on skills needed for the
standardized testing in language arts.
We encourage our students to participate in English extracurricular activities include the schoolwide Ramsey Speech
Contest in the spring and a schoolwide Spelling Bee which precedes the district competition. We enter
contests and exhibit our students' work to a
wider audience whenever possible. We hope to encourage our students'
creativity and give them a chance to shine!
We are having an exciting year as we welcome new staff members,
implement a rigorous IB-MYP curriculum and continue using Disciplinary Literacy in our classrooms.
