Course Companion Resources
Designed to Support Course Implementation
We are committed to providing teachers with additional tools to help implement the English 9-12 courses and make the biggest possible impact on student achievement.
For large texts assigned at the beginning of units, designated text reading guides have been created. These guides include the setting, plot summary, main characters, key themes, and guiding questions to assist students in understanding the text.
