Welcome to English I Honors. In English I Honors we will pursue excellence and sophistication in listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, studying and critical-thinking skills. The course includes skills dealing with vocabulary, grammar usage and mechanics, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and essay writing. Fundamentals of expository and creative writing receive careful attention. Major literary genres are introduced, studied, interpreted, and analyzed.
In our literature course, we will:
- develop proficiency in the basic forms of discourse, including description, narration, argumentation/persuasion, and exposition; as well as experience-based, expressive writing.
- develop fundamental techniques for clear, focused, structuring writing through literature-based analytical essays.
- write in a variety of modes, for various purposes and audiences.
- practice all stages of the writing process (prewriting, drafting, revising, and reflecting).
Please see Google Classroom for all materials for our class.
