This on-level course invites students to explore a wide range of literary and informational texts while developing their analytical and critical thinking skills. Through reading, class discussions, and written responses, students will strengthen their understanding of author’s craft, text structure, and the use of evidence in text analysis.
Students will engage in narrative, argumentative, and informational writing, learning to express ideas clearly, support claims effectively, and refine their writing through revision and editing. The course also incorporates speaking and listening activities that build confidence in communication, collaboration, and presentation skills.
By the end of the year, students will be well-prepared for the expectations of high school English coursework and continued growth in reading and writing.
