Junior English Survey

2173

Prerequisites: Freshman and Sophomore English. Students are recommended for this course based on their previous English grades and teacher recommendations.  

This year long English course is designed to offer students structured support for, and guided practice in reading, writing, speaking and thinking habits.   Students strengthen and personalize reading, writing, speaking and thinking skills utilized in Sophomore English as they work with junior year texts.   Most texts are read as a whole class, some of these texts include The Crucible, Black Boy and Catcher in the Rye .  Written and oral communication assignments extend personal connections and further class discussions which focus on analysis of text.  Students are assigned homework experiences to reinforce their learning; they frequently begin to work on these tasks in class under the guidance of the teacher and the support of peer interaction.  In addition to skill development, students are challenged to work on goal setting, self advocacy, and team work.
