English 12 focuses on preparing seniors for the real world. We start of the year working hand-in-hand with Guidance, preparing students for their college applications, college scholarships, and the workforce. There is then a focus on literature that teaches life skills that can be applied for post-graduation life. The year will end with a Capstone project that will require students to use all the skills (writing, critical thinking, annotating, etc.) they have acquired up to this point. The Capstone is a guided, yet very independent project that will end with a presentation to a panel of judges.
