English I A

English I has been designed to integrate all aspects of Language Arts standards into engaging and interactive units organized around reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Students will dissect and analyze the basic elements of plot, setting, mood, character development, narrative devices, theme, and author’s perspective in a variety of literary genres. Students will analyze and synthesize information from different texts, including graphic aids. Students will write in a variety of modes and tap into the power of research as they deepen their understanding of a variety of topics. Throughout this year-long course, students will also reinforce skills that support the study of other disciplines such as science, math, world languages, and social studies.
