Teacher’s creative nonfiction proposal gets first read for Honors 12 ELA
Summary
A first read occurred for an honors‑level ELA proposal: an 89‑page creative nonfiction essay to be taught in an Honors 12 unit exploring post‑colonial voices; final approval is expected at the board's next meeting.
Teachers and board members reviewed a first‑reading curriculum proposal for an Honors 12 English course. Ms. Gibbs presented an 89‑page creative nonfiction essay from the post‑colonial genre to pair with the unit "New Voices." She said the proposal will help students practice narrative voice (second person), conduct research about other places, and produce reflective writing relevant to college expectations.
Board members complimented the teacher for volunteering time over the summer to develop the materials and asked for a final approval at the next meeting. The proposal is a first read only; board members voiced support and no substantive objections were raised during the presentation.
The item will return for formal approval at the next board meeting.
