Welcome!
The focus of this class is the empowerment of students through reading. I sincerely believe that literacy is the path to equality, empowerment, and achievement. But it is hard to become a good reader, much less a great reader. Incredibly hard. So we will practice in this class. We will read. We will think about what we read. We'll talk about it. And then we will comprehend it with our writing.
On this site you will find the syllabus for this, the rules and expectations, as well as any other relevant links and information.
"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.”
― Kofi Annan
