Course Outline
This course is designed to prepare students for the ELA. An integral part of this course will involve reading, writing, analyzing literature and vocabulary development. The assignments that the students will receive are developed so that they can learn to read and think critically. With this ability, they will be able to apply these skills to their writing; thus becoming a critical reader as well as a critical writer. Along with this, the students will be expected to engage in activities that call for extended practice in reading and writing, so they must be prepared for class. In addition to literature read in class, the students will be required to read outside of class and complete assigned work.
