Course Objectives:
The English 9 Honors student will practice close reading, grammar, and composition skills in preparation for AP level courses. Emphasis is placed on analyzing the devices, purposes, structures, and syntax that authors use to create meaning. Students will present and critique dramatic readings of literary selections and will continue to develop proficiency in making planned oral presentations. Knowledge of AP literary terms and forms will be applied in the student's own writing and in the analysis of literature. Students will be introduced to significant literary works from a variety of cultures and eras, from 1000 A.D. to the present and will read major literary works each nine weeks. Increased requirements for research and reporting in all subjects are supported by the use of electronic databases and a standard style sheet method to cite reference sources. Writing will encompass narrative, literary, expository, and technical forms, with particular attention to analysis. Students will be required to write a number of essays and other writings throughout the school year. Students will also practice timed writing.
