English Department Handbook

WELCOME!

 

Welcome to the Senior School English Department Handbook!  We hope this Handbook gives you a better understanding of the policies and expectations of the Senior School English Department.  The Handbook can be a great resource when you find yourself having questions in your English class.  Are you thinking about a rewrite and wondering what to do next?  Check out the Revision Policy link. Are you trying to write your introductory paragraph and aren't sure what you need to include? Go to the Guidelines for Analytic Writing, and you'll see what all English teachers agree on as the central components for every part of your essay.  While you're at it, click on the links to the Frequently Asked Questions, and maybe you'll see your question answered.

Of course, your English teacher is the best resource for any questions you have about Departmental policies or expectations for a paper.  Use this Handbook to reinforce what you've learned in class and in one-on-one meetings with your teacher. 

Every member of the English Department wants to help you develop your voice in writing, and we invite you to come to us with your questions!
