COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a year-long required course that will enable students to become skilled readers of a wide range of literature, including prose, poetry, and short stories. Students are expected to read and respond to a variety of literature, independently, in group discussion and in writing. All facets of language arts – listening, speaking, reading, writing – will be covered. The study of language in use – grammar, mechanics, sentence structure, and usage – will be incorporated in this course, as well.
The course will focus on the theme of "World Literature", encountering common themes such as humanity, power, love, adventure and heroism. The course seeks to explore a variety of essential questions related to the human conditions not only discussed through the literature but also drawing from our life experiences and those of our global cohorts.
