Description:
ELA IV share the same standards as ELA III to build a broad foundation of the skills and content knowledge needed to prepare for more advanced courses. The courses are differentiated in the complexity of texts, tasks, and time constraints with which students are asked to engage.
This capstone English Language Arts course will prepare students for post secondary plans, focusing thematically around individual and group philosophical ideas and how ideas and differing opinions and roles impact society, and the responsibilities of a group to individuals as well as individuals to a group. Aligned to Missouri Learning Standards and ACT Standards, this course will concentrate on deeper sophistication of the skills of reading and analyzing literary and informational texts and using writing to communicate analysis. This course requires an advanced understanding of grammar and language rules as well as an ability to communicate through writing and speaking.
