Hey Students! This English 10B unit will tap into your imagination and send you on a journey outside the "ordinary." We will examine the human experience through literature that focuses on, and more importantly, challenges our morals, values, and societal norms. Though this literature will be that of fiction, you will be tethered by the realistic struggle of how we, as humans, process new information that shapes us as individuals capable of anything we put our minds to. You will be building and improving on the following skills:
Read and comprehend appropriately complex literary texts independently and proficiently.
Initiate and participate in collaborative discussions, listen critically, and respond appropriately as individuals or in a group setting.
Give effective presentations in formal settings, making purposeful decisions about content, language use, and discourse style based on the audience, venue, and topic.
