Grade 12 Academic

This course is divided into two distinct semesters of study, one focusing on a study of world literature and the other on writing.

Students read representative literature from many cultures, countries, and time periods to increase their understanding of literature and the people who produced it. Activities in this semester include oral and written analyses of readings, overviews of the society and history that relate to a particular selection, and evaluations of author’s styles and themes.

In the other semester, students receive extensive writing practice in the expository, narrative, descriptive, and persuasive forms. The semester course begins with a review of elements of style and a study of paragraph development to prepare students for more extensive assignments that follow. Students practice composing skills through the writing of critical and creative essays, description, narrative, persuasion, and exposition.
