Course Description:

· An accelerated, honors-level course (1.5 credits) integrating advanced composition skills, academic writing, and a wide variety of world literature from multiple genres.


Integrated English focuses on critical reading, analytical writing, and language skills with immediate relevance for students’ current and future work both inside and outside of the classroom. This Pre-AP classroom trains the reader to observe textual details to arrive at a deeper understanding of the whole. It also trains the writer to focus on crafting essays that facilitate and demonstrate complex thinking. Reading selections allow students to examine various genres and to appreciate authors’ choices while developing a greater awareness of how words produce effects and how the conventions of the English language are utilized for both precision and style. Summer reading is required.
