TK-12 Online Courses
English Language Arts 10 includes four skill-based units covering multiple genres, writings, and a final summative portfolio. Students analyze and discuss classical, contemporary, and informational literature during the two-semester course. Emphasis is placed on writing argumentative, informative, and narrative essays involving graphic organizers, drafting, revision, conferencing, and creating polished final pieces. Opportunities for group interactions, peer collaboration, and independent study are integrated throughout the course.
Students in English 10 should read various rich texts, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc. Families should note that specific literature may contain sensitive material, necessitating review and discussion with an adult. While the A-G Guide and suggested literature resources provide a grade-level reading list, students are encouraged to supplement these options with thematically relevant alternatives that meet course requirements.
