Hello students and parents! 

I'm Casey Zvanut (zuh VAN it) but you can call me Mrs. Z if that's easier. I've been an educator here in Union County for 23 years. I've taught just about every grade and level in that time, and I'm so excited to be working with you this semester!

English I is largely considered a "survey course" in which students concentrated on different genres, such as the epic, the drama, the short story, etc. English II is considered a "world literature" course where we build on the skills in the 9-10 band of the standard course of study, but with a view of exploring world texts. In other words, we examine and compare perspectives from around the world through various pieces of literature in a variety of genres. After English II, students move into "American Lit" and finally "British Lit." 

Please peruse the standards for English II on this document. 

Here is the class syllabus students received on day 1.

Please note a change to the syllabus! Because I now have parking lot duty, my standing tutoring on Thursday afternoon will now be from 3:20 - 4:15. I can also tutor by appointment, but Thursday will be a standing time for drop in.
