Emphasis will be placed on the social commentaries made by the author's themselves in relation to the topics covered in the students' U.S. History II course. The course is primarily analytical in nature with the student expected to read various poems, short stories, essays, and novels, discuss them in class, and develop critical essays based on that literature.

Advanced Placement (AP) English

Advanced Literature and Composition is a year-long course in which students will adhere to the collegiate standards of English. This course and the syllabus have been certified by the National College Board, which means this is an official AP course and we must adhere to the national standards set. The pace and rigor of this course is meant to mirror that of a first year college level English course, and should NOT be taken lightly. Students should be serious with their intention to take the AP Exam, while it is not required, it is encouraged. The AP English Lit and Comp test occurs in May, where students may take the test to earn college credit (although credit is not guaranteed). English 9-11 are typical prerequisites. To take these course students should be passionate about reading and writing, and willing to think critically, learn more about analyzing a variety of literature from all genres and time periods. Students will do so through reading, oral communication, research, journaling, essays, projects, Socratic seminars and group collaboration. We will be reading a number of texts at an accelerated speed and students are expected to read and study accordingly outside of class.

This is a two-part course in which Mass Media is covered in the first semester, and Creative Writing is covered in the second semester. Students will study the communication process, various forms of mass media, and advanced public speaking. Students will be required to participate in individual and group speeches given in front of their peers. Creative Writing is designed to aid students in the writing process and open up their creative expression. They will write and workshop one another’s work (short stories, poems, etc.) in order to improve on their writing and editing skills. Students will learn poetic vocabulary and will create a final portfolio at the end of the school year, encompassing their best and favorite creative writing assignments. There are no prerequisites for these courses.

Language assessments will be given to students based on transcripts and English as a second language coordinator recommendations.
