"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink." - T.S. Elliot
Essential idea:
Why do they write? Why do we read?
Students will make connections between texts read in class and the world around them, more closely examine their own values, and continue developing a sense of self through building a community connection.
Through these genres students will demonstrate...
an understanding of literary elements
basic literary analysis and interpretation skills
creative, personal, and critical essay writing skills using various strategies - brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and peer editing
the ability to gather, evaluate, use, and document information from a variety of sources
acquire new vocabulary and use it correctly
demonstrate appropriate speaking, listening, and presentation skills
