Course description

Pre-AP ELA focuses on the close reading; analytical writing; and language skills that have immediate relevance for students across their current courses and that are most essential for their future work in high school; college; and careers. Texts take center stage in the Pre-AP ELA classroom; where students will prepare for close; critical reading of a wide range of materials. The course trains the reader to observe the small details within a text in order to arrive at a deeper understanding of the whole. It also trains the writer to focus on crafting complex sentences as the foundation for writing in order to facilitate complex thinking and to communicate ideas clearly. Pre-AP ELA instructional resources focus on the following key instructional shifts: Emphasis on close reading of complex texts: Students read closely and analyze a range of complex literary and informational texts. Stress on valuing evidence: Students value textual evidence and incorporate it effectively in writing and speaking. Focus on attention to language: Students understand how writers and speakers use specific words and sentences to move the thoughts; emotions; and actions of readers and listeners.
