Honors English 12

 

It is designed to give you the opportunity to track the development of literary movements and developments over time, in a variety of literary forms. The course is populated with work from predominantly British writers which explore a wide range of themes and styles. You will be required to interact with complex texts and analyze their importance and relevance both in their time and now. Being an Honors course, the expected reading load is higher than a regular class. The writing assignments are frequent and require both independent research and an intense focus on drafting and editing to improve the final product. You are expected to master the argumentative and narrative essay by the end of the course and demonstrate excellence in literary response and analysis. Language use and conventions are interwoven into the writing process and feedback from the instructor will focus on the individual needs of the students. You will be expected to implement a satisfactory note-taking system and maintain a vocabulary and quote bank.
