Course Description:
This course emphasizes the development of critical reading skills. The aim of the course
is to prepare students for higher levels of knowledge based on literary analysis. A variety
of informational text and literature is used to develop skills in all areas of reading. Through
close reading, critical writing, classroom discussions, and presentations, students deepen
their ability to analyze, evaluate, and critique text independently. Student activities seek to
understand other perspectives and cultures through reading and listening. Topics will focus
on a wide range of issues, from environmental issues to endangered species. We will also
work across the curriculum with historical topics such as the Black Plague and Immigration
of the 1880s to 1930. Technology is used to enhance and integrate reading, writing, listening,
and language arts.
