Heavy emphasis will be placed on recognizing literary elements while reading works of literature and drama, short written responses, and vocabulary and spelling. Further emphasis will be placed on writing in different modes, such as informative, narrative, expository, and persuasive writing through the development of a student portfolio. Communication skills will be enhanced through public speaking, group and individual presentations, and the writing process. English 10 (101) [NCAA] [Keystone] 1.0 credit, Grade 10, Weight 1.0 English 10 is designed to develop and enhance student recognition of literary elements in literature. Students will be expected to complete multiple readings from a variety of different sources and to be able to discuss those readings in a classroom format. Emphasis will be placed on reading comprehension, critical and analytical thinking skills, vocabulary building, and oratory development. The course is also designed to improve and reinforce proficiency in composition. The focal point of this part of the course will stress the importance of the writing process; students will be expected to self–edit and peer–edit all of their work in order to increase their talents as writers. English 11 (102) [NCAA] 1.0 credit, Grade 11, Weight 1.0 Building upon skills taught in 9th and 10th grade English, English 11 focuses on turning literacy skills into practical applications that students will take with them to English 12 and beyond. Through studying various forms of literary and non-literary sources, students will develop critical thinking skills and apply them to everyday conversations and situations. With an emphasis on reading comprehension, written expression, career skills, social-emotional skill development and speaking and listening skills, English 11 will allow students to create tangible artifacts that will prepare them for their future. English 12 (103) [NCAA] 1.0 credit, Grade 12, Weight 1.0 Critical thinking skills developed in earlier levels of secondary English will be built upon during English 12 via critical language skills. As students prepare to transition into life outside of the classroom, they must be well-equipped to interact confidently with a variety of texts, a diverse population of people, and an evolving sense of self. Throughout the course students will work to cultivate growth mindsets and problem solve by developing their communication and thinking skills through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students will be asked to analyze their methods of thinking and evaluate their biases as a way to create a more capable framework for problem solving while also working to develop the necessary "soft" skills required for collaborating and cooperating with others. As a result, students will increase their ability to self-reflect on their own habits and habit formation while better understanding the perspectives of others in order to promote genuine communication in the workplace amidst the backdrop of the Spartan Values: Integrity, Professionalism, Empathy, Optimism, Perseverance, and Innovation.
