• Welcome to English 3 for the 2016-2017 school year. English 3 is an American Literature class that spans from Plymouth Plantation to the Vietnam War. This class will read selections from different time periods and will focus on authors such as Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Miller, Washington Irving, and Herman Melville, just to name a few. This class has a strong reading and writing component and will strongly focus on preparing students for their STAAR History Test in the spring preparing for the SAT exam, and to help those students needing to pass STAAR I and II from previous years. Grading and attendance policies will follow those guidelines set forth by South San ISD.
