English Department

Sudbury Secondary School’s English Department is a dynamic experience for students at all levels of study. The department’s teachers, passionate about their subject, not only engage their students through their own enthusiasm for English, but through a multitude of teaching strategies. These range from traditional lecture, question and answer, to differentiated instruction. Additionally, teachers utilize Google Apps for Education, SMARTBOARD technology, and class sets of Chromebooks and iPads to further enhance student learning.

The departments’ extensive collection of literature, which includes many classics and contemporary novels, nonfiction writing, plays and poetry, forms the core of its reading-based philosophy. It is the belief that involved and sustained reading generates necessary ideas for committed writing. The department frequently collaborates with community members to help bring literature to life for our students.
