English Language Arts 11 encompasses literary works and informational texts from the Colonial Times to the 21st century. This course offers students a comprehensive understanding of Americaโs history while exposing them to diverse cultural perspectives by analyzing significant documents. Students will engage in rigorous rhetorical and literary analysis, demonstrating their comprehension through essays and multimedia presentations. Additionally, students will hone their research skills, critically evaluating sources for validity and relevance.
English 11 strongly emphasizes the writing process, guiding students through various tages such as brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, conferencing, and publishing a polished final product.
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 list of grade-level appropriate readings, students are encouraged to explore additional texts that align with the themes covered in the curriculum and complement the assigned tasks.
