This one-semester English elective is designed to develop lifelong reading skills and renew students’ appreciation for and enjoyment of literature. The content for this survey course will broadly address a variety of genres including mystery, action, memoirs, film, and historical fiction and drama. Student work is largely project-based analysis of what is read as a class and individually. Some of the content studied in this course may have adult content or themes. This course continues to emphasize and increase rigor in the progressive development of skills identified in Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (11-12).

*This course may be repeated for elective credit
