KAKARS
JUNIOR ENGLISH
CLASS

Agenda
Tonight I will share a little about myself and what I plan
to do this school year with my junior English class.
I will talk briefly about the school year objective and the
books we will be reading.
I will point out important dates and events including big
project due dates, field trips, class parties and school
events.
I will go over classroom rules and procedures so that
parents are aware of what to expect.
Towards the end of my presentation I will pass around a
sign up sheet for parents to sign up for volunteering with
school class events.

About Me
My name is Roma Kakar
I was born and raised in San Francisco California
I received my B.A in English Literature and Secondary
Education from Southern Methodist University in Dallas
Texas
I am a language, culture and travel fanatic
This is my first year teaching high school English and I
couldnt be more excited!

School Year Plan and Objective

This school year I hope to strengthen your childs
reading comprehension skills.
We will take a deeper look into literature and work on
proper essay writing etiquette.
I will prepare your children for college by having most
classes discussion based that way your child can get an
early start at what to expect in college English
classrooms.
