English 11

This is the last required English class at Trade Tech. Therefore, this is the last English class many students will take. At this point, many of them have figured out whether they are planning on heading to college or to a career/trade after graduating. Regardless of their paths, students enrolled in this class will continue to be pushed to work to their fullest potential in the realm of critical reading, thinking, and writing.

 

This course exposes students to a wide range of American authors, integrating with their work in the US History course as much as possible. From poetry and early American writings to modern American literature and critical essays on current events, students engage in close reading activities that push further development of their analytical skills. Similarly, writing assignments will require increasingly advanced use of language in which students clearly explain their original thoughts in relation to texts and/or the world around us.
