FROM THE TEACHER

Do you enjoy the flexibility that online school offers but miss the face-to-face interaction with your teacher and classmates? Then English 1 EVP EVP is the place for you. As part of your coursework, ENGL100 EVP meets weekly in a live video-conference to discuss literature, practice skills, and play engaging review games. You will explore suspenseful short stories, narrative nonfiction, poetry and a few classic novels while building strong skills in discussion and collaborative learning.. As we read and write together, you are given opportunities to apply your learning from real-world authors while you build your language skills and develop strong friendships along the way!

I thought in the beginning that it was going to be another boring English class, but I was pleasantly surprised. The class is actually really fun and interesting.
