Course Description-

Senior English refines the skills students have learned during the first three years of high school. Students will gain a greater understanding of written and spoken English as well as the development of novels and other writings. British Literature is more challenging than previous literature classes (especially the first semester) because the readings span the entire history of the British culture. Students must keep up with assigned reading and classroom discussions to ensure success. In their final year of high school, seniors should demonstrate an ability to be personally motivated and responsible for their academic progress. Please keep in mind that senior English is a mandatory course. Failure to pass either/both semesters will prevent students from graduating in May with their peers.
