Course description

English 3-4 begins with a major focus on grammar to help students become stronger writers. Students then analyze literary genre elements in various excerpts of classical stories. A major focus is the Greek drama; Antigone; by Sophocles. The novel; To Kill a Mockingbird; by Harper Lee is required with this course to study for analysis; as well. Students compare informational texts and have various writing projects. For example; they write an analytical essay on a short story and a persuasive essay that they also present as a speech. Their research paper is about a topic they choose on the Civil Rights Movement in which they construct a multi-media presentation to accompany it. Additionally; this course includes work-related documents with students constructing their own resumÈs and letters.†
