Horry County Schools High School English Language Arts
Curriculum Consensus Maps 2011-2012
Rationale: To ensure a multi-faceted curriculum and a degree of continuity across the district’s high schools, a team of teachers and district personnel developed curriculum consensus maps for English I, English II, English III, and English IV students. The primary goal is to engage each student in the study of literary works representing a range of genres, cultures, themes, subjects, time periods, and genders. Selected Texts: Textbooks were selected based on the publishers approved by the SDE. All short works on the CP lists are from Prentice Hall’s Literature series; whereas, all short works on the Honors lists are from the Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Elements of Literature series. The long works on each list are representative titles offered by the SDE adopted textbook companies and titles of available classroom sets currently in the schools. Longer works have been reviewed by a committee of students, teachers, administrators, parents, and district office personnel. Procedures for choosing alternative texts are to be followed when making choices for longer works that do not appear on the HCS High School English Language Arts Curriculum Consensus Maps for English I – English IV.
Correlations to Writing Objectives and Grammar Skills: The correlation featured on the curriculum consensus maps for writing promotes a product focus and alignment to mentor texts. Writing objectives and grammar skills may be addressed in more ways than are specified in the correlations.
Grammar Scope and Sequence: The sequence of grammar skills specified in the HCS Grammar Scope and Sequence have been established using the 2008 Academic Standards for English Language Arts, the proficient levels of the Descartes ® resource aligned with MAP, and the grammar expectations of the SAT and ACT. The document provides specificity for teaching grammar in the context of writing in each English I – IV course.
Writing Curriculum Objectives: Our writing curriculum drives our instruction in the English Language Arts classroom and addressing the writing curriculum objectives based on the 2008 Academic Standards for English Language Arts is the focus of instruction. The writing curriculum portfolio is a collection of student work that reflects a student’s mastery of grade-level standards throughout the course. Students’ writing will be a performance-based reflection of mastery of these standards. Each curriculum item is directly correlated with multiple standards from the 2008 South Carolina English Language Arts Academic Standards. Students’ portfolios will exhibit growth over time in a way that is student-centered and focused on reflection and improving future writing.
HCS ELA Instructional Model for Student Engagement – 9-12: The strategies and guidelines of the HCS ELA Instructional Model for Student Engagement 9-12 are based on the Anatomy of an Effective Lesson and should be implemented to meet the expectations of the writing curriculum and state standards.
