English 11C
Students will practice their reading skills through various texts such as short stories, The Great Gatsby, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and Long Way Down as well as writing assignments in the following modes: narrative, compare/contrast, cause/effect, persuasive, and nonfiction/informative. They will learn to research and correctly cite information. They will also work on grammar skills found on the ACT by using IXL. In addition to our regular curriculum, students will receive instruction on English/Reading ACT Prep using the "On To College" John Baylor curriculum.
