A. Description
In English I, students are introduced to the different genres of literature.
Emphasis is placed on the comprehension of literature through both
written analysis and comprehension questions. This course of study will
enable the student to master critical skills that appear on formal
assessments. Compass Learning will be used to supplement bookwork or
as an alternative to bookwork for those students who would rather do
computer based learning.
B. Organization
English I students study literature, reading comprehension, vocabulary,
essay development, research, functional text, and communication.
Through the study of novels, short stories, poetry, drama, and nonfiction,
students analyze literary elements and devices, text structure, author’s
purpose, and historical significance. Students develop strategies for
reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition through explicit
instruction. In addition, writing instruction focuses on the writing process
with integrated grammar instruction. Students write a variety of
multiparagraph essays as well as study a variety of communication
strategies and the research process.
