The Rodriguez Academy
August 12, 2026
Dear Parents or Guardians,
I give you a warm welcome to our 2026-2027 school year in The Rodriguez Academy.
We are excited to have you back to school, and we hope you had a great summer with your child.
My name is Ms. Anna Rodriguez, I’ll be teaching 10th grade English Literature, and I have been
teaching this subject for four years in this school.
In this 10th grade English Literature class, students are expected to be respectful to
their peers and to be tolerant to apply critical thinking and communication skills by reading
poetry, short stories, and dramas. Students are also to recognize the importance of literary text
and meaning by employing reflective writing from the assigned readings. Since writing is
considered to be a process that includes the generation of ideas, reading daily for my class is vital
for the students’ achievement. In my course content we will address:
1. Introduction—Definition of Literature and Literary Genre
2. Short Story—Definition of a Short Story, Identifying Elements of a Short Story
(Plot, Characters, Point of View, Theme, Setting, Symbolism and Allegory)
3. Poetry—Definition of Poetry, Interpreting Poetry, and Paraphrasing poems
4. Drama—Definition of Drama, Type of Drama (tragedy, comedy, modern) and
Interpreting drama.
5. Writing about Literature—Reflective Writing, Writing about Issues Raised in
Literary Work
By the end of the school year, students will possess a proper understanding of the
literary world and will recognize the importance of literature through their point of view and
through the views of society.
I look forward to sharing more about the English literature curriculum and the
academic goals for the class upon request. Thank you for your support in your child’s success,
and I hope this year is filled with academic achievements for you and your child. Please if you
have any doubts or concerns, do not wait for formal conferences to discuss your questions. You
can email me at asrodrig@ncsu.edu or call me on my cell-phone (787) 675-XXXX. I look
forward to frequent communication with you as we work together to ensure your child’s success!

Sincerely,
Ms. Anna Rodriguez
