Course description

In English I; students take a journey through important concepts–the Unknown; Equality; Identity; Opportunity; and Understanding–to learn the foundations of communication and analysis. In each unit of the course; students explore a variety of STEM-related literature; including genre fiction; poetry; non-fiction; and speeches. Through the study of this writing; students hone their own skills in communication and analysis.

To facilitate engagement and academic responsibility; students are encouraged to make choices at different points in the course. Most notable is the novel unit; in which students must select their book from a list of titles available. This practice gives ownership to the student and places each learner in a position to develop a deeper appreciation of reading.
