Course Overview & Goals:
Based on California’s Common Core Standards for English Language Arts, this course will focus largely on the analysis of theme, style and technique in literature and nonfiction texts. Composition assignments will include informative/explanatory texts (e.g. the business letter), narratives, and arguments (both literary and research-based), timed and revised. Ultimately, students should leave this class stronger, more critical and creative readers, writers, listeners, and speakers.
