Two Classes in One

English III is actually two courses in one--both providing opportunities for students to get a head start on their college education by meeting college Freshman Composition requirements. Please contact Mr. Bird or Mrs. Mason (kmason@suhsd.net) with any questions about theses courses.

English 1A: College Composition

Fall Semester

In the Fall, U-Prep English III students have the option to sign up for Dual Enrollment English IA. The Dual Enrollment program is a partnership between U-Prep and Shasta College. This program allows your student to earn both college credit and high school credit while taking a course on our high school campus at no cost.

Here is the course syllabus.

AP Language & Composition

Spring Semester

In the Spring--once grades have been submitted to Shasta College--English III will shift to AP Language & Composition. AP Lang is an introductory college-level composition course. Students cultivate their understanding of writing and rhetorical arguments through reading, analyzing, and writing texts as they explore topics like rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, reasoning and organization, and style.
