Mrs. Cole CP English III Creative Writing Room 300
Brighton High School ~ 8045 Highway 51 South – Brighton, TN 38011
Welcome back!!!! I am looking forward to getting to know you all. So far the year is going very well. Your students are very bright, considerate and inquisitive! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know how I can be of help. Please keep in mind that the English III curriculum is stringent. Your student(s) must be prepared to write a five paragraph persuasive essay in only 35 minutes (by February 1). This can be a struggle for many, but I will do my best to prepare them. Furthermore, many will take the ACT for the first this school year. As I said, the curriculum is demanding…and I expect the very best effort from your student (s), and in return I will do my very best to make sure each student is successful. Again, I am looking forward to getting to know you and my students! Please provide the following items for your students: Binder (1 inch is adequate) Dictionary with more than 35,000 word entries Black or blue ink pens/ pencils Paper and one packet of dividers Composition notebook. You will also need to purchase the following books: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom (I will have copies of this book available for you if you cannot purchase it.) In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (We’ll begin this novel in March.) These books can be found at the used bookstore in Millington, online, or any bookstore. If this is a financial burden, please let me know.
