Class Overview
This semester-long course focuses on developing skills in reading, writing, grammar, and communication through the study of literary genres. Students will examine themes and employ textual evidence in their literary analyses and argumentative writing. Students will explore narrative writing, expanding their vocabulary and knowledge of figurative language. Students will engage with both literary and informational texts, exploring literary elements. The course emphasizes critical thinking, close reading, and textual analysis, and prepares students for future academic endeavors.
