Description
English 1 is a comprehensive high school course that helps students develop their reading, writing, and analytical skills by exploring poetry, fiction, and nonfiction texts. Students learn to identify authors’ techniques, analyze text structures, and connect themes across genres. Through engaging lessons with direct instruction, close reading, writing exercises, and interactive activities, students build their own voice in analytical, argumentative, narrative, and expository writing. The course is organized into themed units with multiple lessons, and students complete performance tasks and multimedia presentations within a feedback-rich environment that supports their growth as confident, capable readers and writers.
