• 18. Brief Course Description This is a required 9 th grade class that must be passed to qualify for graduation. This course will examine the themes of self, community, and society through a series of texts. Within this framework, students will learn to critically analyze literature, drama, non-fiction and poetry through essay writing, projects, and oral responses. In the fall, we will focus on an analysis of self, the school community, and the Oakland community with an eye toward the forces that influence students as young people. In the spring, we will extend our lens beyond the school and the broader community of Oakland to the migration and immigration patterns and how our situation today fits within the context of US history. We will learn about the various communities that comprise Oakland, reading fiction as well as non-fiction that complements this theme. Students will read a minimum of six novels and engage in multiple projects that assess the following skills: Oral Presentation, Group Work, Critical Reading, Literary Analysis, Thesis, Essay Organization, Writing Style, Research and Vocabulary. By the completion of this course, students will have produced a major autobiographical work, be able to write a coherent five-paragraph essay that demonstrates research, organization, drafting, and analysis strategies, and produce a presentation of an original research project. This course will fulfill both an English and History requirement and include a focus on US and California history as well as ethnic studies. Course Goals and/or Major Student Outcomes 1.
