English/Language Arts 12 blends composition, analytical reading, and literature into a cohesive whole. Students combine purposes, patterns, and genres in writing while incorporating research and rhetorical techniques. Collaboration and critical thinking lead to more complex presentations and products, with students honing their comprehension skills while reading more complicated literary and nonfiction texts. In this English/Language 12 option, the logic and critical-thinking skills that accompany effective writing will be reinforced; this course provides continued and advanced instruction in writing for a variety of purposes and audiences. The annotation fee is charged for the purchase of books and printed materials that students will annotate and keep when the school year ends.
