Course: Advanced English 9

Credit: 1.00

Prerequisite: English 8 with teacher recommendation and 3.0 GPA in English 8

Description: Advanced English 9 is a course for those who are college bound and seeking a rigorous curriculum which will be completed at an accelerated rate. The course will still meet and exceed the Ohio New Learning Standards and will also maintain the requirements of the English 9 course; however, it will implement a more complex and rigorous curriculum, such as more challenging texts, assessments, etc. The readings (both informational and literary) will be grouped based on thematic units. Many major assignments will be performance and project based and will focus more on analysis and synthesis of complex texts and ideas. Time outside of the classroom will be required to complete assignments and readings.
