Course Descriptions:
English I and Honors English I:
Welcome to 9th grade English class! In this course, you will read and analyze various short stories, poems, non-fiction, and novels. Each course unit revolves around one of the following concepts: revenge & regret, perception, passion, and honor. Topics will cover a broad range of language arts skills including grammar, writing, speaking, listening, and analyzing literature.
This semester you will feel challenged to try something new, eager to communicate, and driven to read, write, and learn.
English III and Honors English III:
Welcome to English III! We will explore the development of America through its literature. During this course students will read, analyze, discuss, and reflect on their reading in a variety of ways. In all units there will be a student-driven component that will allow students to choose the literature that they read. Writing, both formally and informally, will happen daily in class. Grammar and vocabulary will flow throughout the course as students are expected to work toward mastery of certain concepts by the end of the course. Students are urged to ask questions of each other and of course materials, guide their learning whenever possible, produce their best work, and reflect on learning and growth.
