The Timberlane English Department is all about words. For all four years at Timberlane Regional High School, students will be experiencing the best examples of how words can be shaped into shouts of joy, cries of anguish, cautious warnings, hopeful pleas, and invitations into the limitless possibilities of how words can indeed change the world. Students will also spend the next four years learning how to shape their own words, to learn how to listen to their inner voices, and translate those voices onto paper. They will learn how to listen to other students' words thoughtfully, with respect and with interest. They will learn that words can be communicated non-verbally; presentation, oral reports, and speeches are not just about what one's message is, but about how one says it. Each student in English class will be a word reader, a word shaper, and a word listener. The goal of the Timberlane English Department's dedicated staff is to help each student help themselves to become people who understand the incredible responsibility and power that comes with the mastery of words.
