English 9: The Journey!
Students in
Grade 9 apply the
nature of a four-stage journey to their study of
literature, language, and composition, and to their
roles as entering high school students and emerging
adults. English 9 prepares students to take the
Maryland State English High School Assesments Test I
and provides appropriate assistance for students
needing to qualify on the Maryland Writing Test.
