English 1 Honors

As we read our core novels and supplemental texts this year, we'll be exploring a series of Essential Questions. What is an Essential Question? It's a thought-provoking question that doesn't have a simple answer! As we read and consume a variety of media (books, articles, videos, etc..) we'll have great discussion and grapple with the Essential Question. We may never come to a final answer, but the process is going to stretch our critical thinking and challenge us to grow! We will have a yearlong Essential Question that ties all of our core novels together, and each unit will have a smaller Essential Question that relates to the yearlong EQ.

Our yearlong essential question: How is a culture's status quo challenged or maintained?

Unit 1 EQ: When injustice occurs, to what lengths should people go to make it right?
