- Description
-
English 11 is a one-year course that provides integrated reading and writing techniques with an American literary emphasis. This course takes a chronological look at America’s growth through the perspective of literature. Using literature as its focus, this course reinforces skills and strategies introduced at the tenth grade level and stimulates critical thinking, as well as evaluative and interpretive skills necessary for more challenging courses. Grammar, syntax, and rhetoric are clarified on an independent basis through student-teacher discussion of essays and other written efforts. This course complements U.S. history and will prepare students for 12th grade English.
