Honor's English 10

Course Description

Students in 10th grade English will continue their preparation for college-level skills in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking as outlined in the California State Standards for English-language Arts. Literacy is one of the primary themes at Liberty Charter High School. This course will broaden the perspectives of students as we deal with literature from a variety of sources in order to assist them in becoming culturally, technologically, and academically literate citizens within their communities. Furthermore, by interacting with classic, modern, and contemporary works, students will have the opportunity to develop their own personal perspectives of the world in which they live, and apply them in their daily lives. In this honors class, the expectation will be for high quality and quantity as students meet and exceed state standards. There will be a strong emphasis on literary analysis and building rhetorical skills in order to prepare these students for AP courses
