What is English I?
English I is a course that is designed to introduce students to the rigors of high school English study. Through this course, they will study various literary genres to help develop students’ cognitive skills and abilities to think, analyze, organize, and express their ideas clearly and effectively. Throughout the year we will explore the writing processes and academic literacy skills which will include interpretation, comprehension, analysis, and evaluation of literary and informational texts. Attention to grammar and conventions of standard written English are a “must” in this class. The class will be comprised of a variety of short stories, novels, poetry, and essays from different times and places to help shed light on the importance of the literary experience.
