Harmony High School – Aice General Paper

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

AICE English General Paper is an English class that counts towards Florida graduation requirements and gives students an opportunity to earn a college elective credit at no cost to families. The course is designed to give learners a variety of opportunities to read relevant texts across a variety of topics and subjects. Students learn to build and write arguments, support their claims with evidence, and read widely about contemporary issues. While English 1 introduces the fundamentals of close observation, critical analysis, and the appreciation of author’s craft, English 2 requires students to apply those practices to a new array of nonfiction and literary texts. As readers, students become aware of how poets, playwrights, novelists, and writers of nonfiction manipulate language to serve their purposes. As writers, students compose more nuanced analytical essays while never losing sight of craft and cohesion.
