Mr. Caballero Senior English

Welcome to English 12! It's an exciting time as you embark on your final journey through high school. The path ahead may present challenges, but it's also filled with opportunities for growth and accomplishment. Just like a construction zone, your high school career has been a continuous process of building, and now, you're ready to add those final touches.

I'm thrilled to guide you on this last leg of your educational adventure, leading you toward graduation with enthusiasm and support! Throughout this course, we'll delve into literature that not only enriches our language skills but also fosters personal growth and mutual understanding. Our exploration will encompass a variety of mediums, including short stories, nonfiction, poetry, art, music, and film, creating a dynamic and comprehensive learning experience aligned with the California Common Core English Language Arts content standards.

My ultimate goal is for each of you to emerge not only as adept readers and writers but as individuals who contribute positively to society. Remember, the key to improving language skills lies in the immersive experience of reading and writing as much as possible.

Now, let's talk about expectations. As a 12th grader, I trust that you will embrace the responsibilities of young adulthood. I encourage you to think, speak, and act with respect, creating an inclusive and supportive environment within our classroom. Our discussions may touch upon sensitive or controversial topics, and it's important that everyone feels comfortable expressing their opinions and beliefs.

Let's make this final leg of your high school journey memorable, rewarding, and filled with positive growth. I'm excited to embark on this adventure with you all!
