English 12

English 12 exposes students to seminal classic, modern, and contemporary works of English and Western Literature. Whether the focus of the lesson is on a poem, short story, play, or novel, students will be expected to explore each work through in-depth discussions, critical analysis papers, group projects, and class presentations. In addition to writing a college-level MLA-style research paper, students will be required to submit a college essay that addresses one of the writing prompts on the Common Application and/or a college-specific writing task. Students will develop and expand their vocabulary through a combination of college-level workbook exercises, close textual reading, and various writing assignments.
