英语

The 英语 Department of Bishop Blanchet High School seeks to empower all students with the abilities to think critically, to read introspectively, and to write precisely; these skills will not only bring success in a college setting, but will also provide students with communication and language skills necessary for a productive citizenship. Students are presented with a wide range of literature and are expected to respond in ways that reflect an understanding of Gospel values. Students learn to write for different audiences and varying purposes including persuasion, description, exposition and narration. They demonstrate the ability to evaluate and critically analyze the materials they read.

Department Philosophy: The 英语 department empowers students to think critically and make informed decisions after exploring multiple perspectives. 英语 课程 will prepare students to research, assess evidence, and provide analysis at both the text and universal levels in order to explore truth through varied lenses. Working individually and collaboratively, students will strive to attain their greatest 学术 potential in the classroom while laying the foundation for seeking justice for everyone outside the classroom.
