- reading, comprehending, and analyzing a variety of literary works (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, speeches, etc.) and literary devices (theme, figurative language, irony, mood, etc.)

- studying, practicing, and regularly applying the rules of grammar and mechanics, proper writing formats, literary techniques, author’s craft, citing evidence, and the writing process to create quality written work

- developing a healthy vocabulary, and understanding the roots and meanings behind words and common phrases
