English II prepares students to become better readers, writers, speakers, and listeners. Not only does this course prepare students to succeed at the GEE 21, but it also involves critical thinking skills. Emphasis is placed on technical and creative writing, reading of literature, grammar, and vocabulary. Students work both individually and in group settings. Reading at home and studying are keys to success.
