Welcome to Cooper 6 English! Get ready to explore the world of language in creative and exciting ways. You will discover fresh ideas, make surprising new connections, and share your observations. As a community of learners, we will help each other learn and grow. I encourage you to challenge yourself, ask questions, be aware of yourself and of others, and to think and act responsibly. As a member of our community, you must arrive on time with all necessary materials and your homework completed. Be prepared to participate in positive ways in class discussions, peer conferences, and group work. It helps for you to listen carefully, follow directions the first time they are given, and be respectful of others at all times.
