English 9
Instructor: Ms. Grandchamp   
Welcome to Ms. Grandchamp's 9th Grade CP English website. Throughout the course of the year we will be exploring the concept of self discovery. "How does man find himself when faced with conflict?" and "What defines self?" are just a few of the questions we'll be examining this year.

On this website you will find class documents, including handouts and PowerPoint Presentations, as well as homework reminders.

Feel free to email me at mgrandchamp@ghchs.com with any questions.




The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
