Grade 10 - English

English II (Credit: 1.00)

English II students will study literature that spans centuries, continents, and genres. Each of the four thematicallyâ€ integrated units encourages close study of this literature and its context. Students will gain valuable cultural insight as they read and write about works depicting the social, personal, religious, and political struggles and triumphs faced by people all over the world and all through history. Students will continue to build their literacy skills by engaging in focused reading, composition, speaking and listening activities, vocabulary study, and research. By the end of the course, students will have gained a broader perspective and will be wellâ€prepared to apply that perspective to the study of American Literature in English III.
