BBHHS ENGLISH<br />
(See Program of Study Page 39)<br />
English 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required of all students for graduation. In order to provide for the varied<br />
abilities and needs of students, the English program is divided into two levels - Honors and Academic.<br />
The student is not rigidly tracked, but may be changed into classes at another level should the teacher<br />
and counselor recommend this. In all grades and levels of English, students will study composition,<br />
grammar, and literature; however, there is more emphasis on grammar in ninth and tenth grade and<br />
more emphasis on literature in eleventh and twelfth. Students will write increasingly longer and more<br />
complex compositions as they move from ninth to twelfth grade. A portion of the grade in English<br />
class is dependent on class participation. Some courses may require additional reading materials to be<br />
purchased by the student. Students who leave the honors track after junior year will be recommended<br />
for Creative Writing and Modern Novel for senior year.<br />
