Attention DE English III and IV Students and Parents:
Slidell High is proud to now offer both Dual Enrollment English III and Dual Enrollment English IV on our campus, and our DE English teachers are already busy planning for a challenging and rewarding academic experience for your SHS Tiger. To help prepare students, an assignment was sent home to be completed during the summer months. Students are required to select and read/annotate a novel (from a provided grade-level appropriate list) to prepare for in-class analysis and assessment upon return to school. Additionally, students are asked to acquire a St. Tammany Parish Public Library card (if they do not already have one) and watch the specified movie (based on a grade-level appropriate novel) for possible bonus points. When your student returns to school in August with summer assignment in hand, he/she will be prepared for a successful start to the school year.
Aligned to state grade-level subject matter, the English III DE assignment addresses American Literature, while the English IV DE assignment addresses British Literature. Please review the assignment. If for any reason you are concerned with or opposed to the content, please contact the Slidell High front office by Thursday, June 8, 2023 or email Sheri.Marks@stpsb.org , Christy.Berggren@stpsb.org, or William.Marcotte@stpsb.org. An alternate assignment/novel can be provided at the parent’s request.
