English 9 is a college preparatory course designed to increase student proficiency in Language Arts skills. Students will develop an appreciation of literature through in-depth study of a variety of literary works, styles, genres, points-of-view, and literary devices successfully employed by many distinguished authors to communicate their important insights to the world. Students will respond to these studies through homework, discussion, analysis, creative works, individual and group projects, reports, and presentations. This class will emphasize the discovery and use of vocabulary as found in the texts to increase comprehension and broaden student ability to communicate expressively. The greater goal is to help each student develop the close reading, writing, critical thinking, and complex speaking skills vital to a successful and happy life in the modern world. Students will use technology, theater, music, video, and art as ways to access the material and produce creative Language Arts projects. 30 min – 1 hour of homework between class meetings and attendance is required. No prerequisite.
