Grade 12 - English

Language Arts 12B - Semester 2 (Credit: 0.50)

In English 12B, students experience the evolution of British culture and literature by reading the ancient epic poem Beowulf, Shakespearean sonnets, and other classics that span 1,500 years of English writings. Engaging videos, interesting readings, and interactive activities provide students with pragmatic opportunities to apply reading comprehension and writing skills to their lives. Students work through interactive lessons, completing several self-check activities and quizzes, participating in daily online discussions, and working on their writing skills. Students will apply the 6-Traits of Writing (i.e., Ideas and Content, Organization, Voice, Work Choice, Sentence Fluency, and Conventions) to all of their writing. Engaging course projects will include a personal narrative, descriptive essay, functional document, literary analysis, persuasive essay, and research paper. Teacher feedback is provided throughout the course.
