Welcome to high school English! The goal of this course is to expose each student to a variety of literature and forms of writing. There will be numerous opportunities for students to gain practice in reading and responding to literature, both verbally and in writing. The primary books that we use are The Language of Literature, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Additionally, other supplemental work will be incorporated, including non-fiction pieces. We will cover two other units - debate and poetry, as well as write four essays in the following genres: literary analysis, personal narrative, expository and persuasive.
