COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
In English Language Arts 10, students focus on literature, grammar, and composition. They examine words and their meanings and apply this information to other concepts in the course. Students analyze the different elements of a story, including plot, setting, character, narrator, and voice. Additionally, throughout the course, students study various parts of speech, readings, and poetry. English Language Arts 10 also presents students with many different types and styles of writing in order to provide a thorough examination of language and literature. Students apply these styles to their own writing as well.
In the honors variant of this course, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students in the honors courses are also presented with a cumulative exam, the Semester Final, where they will be assessed on the aggregate of content presented throughout the semester.
