This document provides information about the English IV course taught by Miss Lupita Castro. It outlines the required textbooks, evaluation criteria including partial grades and a final grade. Students must attend three laboratory sessions each grading period and complete four projects over the course of the semester. The first project involves reading articles on various topics and answering a questionnaire. The second requires writing an original three-page article on a free topic. The third is a PowerPoint presentation researching the history and culture of a chosen recipe. For the final project, students will present the culinary creation to 25 people, which is 10% of the final grade. Project deadlines are provided.
