Our units are organized by theme. The themes we will explore are, self identity, discrimination, society, war, music, and cinema. Throughout these themed units we will focus on social language and academic language.

Mr. Matthews' Role |
|
I will do everything in my power to be an advocate for my students. I will ensure all students in my classroom have the ability to reach their full potential. Lessons are designed to be collaborative, discussion is a must and I do not have all of the answers. More than anything, I believe in the power of focused effort. Hard work and perseverance are two of the most important tools we can develop, as such we will work hard and persevere. We will grow together.
