Question 1

What will I learn in English I?

Accepted Answer

Students read, write, and communicate daily, engage in activities that build on existing comprehension skills through recursive exposure to multiple genres and types of writing. This course focuses on themes related to survival, change, transformation, and the future. Students read and understand a variety of complex texts across multiple genres that are topic-based and driven by the essential questions and state standards. Students will encounter authors’ perspectives as they read literature from across time periods and cultures. As students read a wide array of literature and engage in activities, they will formulate and defend their opinions as they develop their own perspectives. Varied texts allow students to encounter new perspectives, rethink ideas, and deepen their knowledge of contemporary, traditional, and classic texts. Students explore different types and styles of writing and develop their cognitive evaluation and analysis skills by making real life connections through authentic reading experiences. Through exploration of a variety of author’s voices, students start developing their own sense of voice to develop their writing skills. Students are provided opportunities to express, clarify, justify, interpret, and represent their ideas, and respond to peer/teacher feedback orally and in written form as appropriate throughout the course. Students analyze texts through the eyes of a reader and writer and complete performance-based assessments to demonstrate their critical thinking and synthesis of the unit theme and essential questions. Inquiry and research continues to play an important role as students evaluate social, cultural, and historical influences on texts. Through the use of multiple learning and instructional strategies, students acquire not only the knowledge they need but also the confidence in their own abilities to learn and to communicate effectively in real-world situations. This course will require an End of Course Exam.
