Honors and Academic

Per WCPSS guidelines, Honors and Academic sections of English II will use comparably rigorous texts to access the same learning objectives. Honors classes will often be challenged to guide their own inquiry, do more of their reading independently, and/or demonstrate mastery of learning objectives in more creative ways. Students who pursue the honors course of study may be asked to complete more work outside of the classroom than those who do not.
