11th-12th Grade Level

*NOTE: English 11 | 12 “A” and “B” are the same class offered on different days

*NOTE: English 11 | 12 is on a two-year cycle so students will not repeat the same course twice. Different books are read each year.

Course Description:

English 11 | 12 will focus on furthering student reading and annotation abilities, as well as how to write in APA format. During the fall semester, students will read Aeschylus’ Oresteia and Homer’s Odyssey. Students will also be introduced to APA format and write a short essay in this new style.

During the spring semester, students will read Dante Alighieri’s Paradise and T. S. Eliot’s Wasteland. Students will also take part in multiple in-class debates as preparation to write an APA formatted research essay.

In addition to English, students will also learn the history behind each literary time period as we dive into the movements of Christianity during each era and explore how music and art mirrored the trends of the centuries. Students will also have multiple opportunities to practice their communication skills as both in-class discussions and presentations will be part of the curriculum.

[Please note that grammar and spelling will not be included in the English 11 | 12 curriculum since these subjects are traditionally focused on during the elementary years.]  

Upon completion, this class will equal One English Credit AND 1/4 Speech Credit on HS Transcript
