Required Courses English 1 Grade 9 Pre-requisite: Grade 8 English equivalent 1 year, 1 credit English 1 is a one-year course which aims to provide students with a solid foundation in literary appreciation and analysis and to further develop their language skills. Literature is viewed as the expression of the best of human creative thought and studied according to five major literary genres: Fiction (novels and short stories), Non-Fiction, Poetry, Drama and Media. Language is valued as a vehicle for thought, communication, creativity and selfexpression. The language skills of reading, writing, speaking and researching are developed through a variety of written, oral and visual assignments. Written assignments are of paramount importance and are encouraged as a critical and sometimes creative extension of the reading. Students are also provided with ample opportunities to express themselves verbally through exercises in oral presentation and interpretation and through formal/informal speeches. The thematic thread that runs through the English 1 course is of the various kinds of journeys we encounter in life. English 2 Grade 10 Pre-requisite: English 1 1 year, 1 credit English 2 is a one-year course that builds on the reading, writing, speaking and research skills learned in English 1. It promotes a multicultural view of literature from the five literary genres – Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, Drama and Media. Students improve their writing skills using a variety of expository and literary techniques. The thematic thread that permeates the English 2 course is one of identity. English 1 and 2 Honors Grade 9, 10 Pre-requisite: Enrollment in this challenging program is based on a combination of teacher recommendation, the student’s semester 1 English grade, and a commentary entrance exam for qualified applicants. Interested students should contact their classroom teacher. 1 year, 1 credit English 1 and 2 Honors are accelerated programs designed to allow students to explore and interact with a broad range of literary genres. Through the course of the Honors English program, literary selections will focus on providing a sequential foundation to facilitate a broadened perspective of literature, human thought and the “humanity” found in each individual. Students will have the opportunity to view the world through different cultures and different perspectives and to recognize that there is a common link among humans regardless of distance, time, or culture. 34
