2022-2023 Course Syllabus ENG 10 Honors

Welcome Students!

English 10 Honors is a full-year course emphasizing a thematic study of world literature through literary analysis combined with 21st-century skills, including media literacy and public speaking.  It is designed for sophomores who are reading and writing at an advanced pace, who are capable of in-depth analysis, and who are motivated to meet the rigor of this accelerated course. The curriculum will focus on fiction and non-fiction texts through which students will explore a broad range of perspectives.  This course is designed to foster and refine independent learning skills characteristic of an Honors-level student.  The expectation is that students participate in reading and writing activities during and outside of class time in a self-directed fashion.

Materials:

To bring to class each day: 
1. Agenda/ Student Planner/ Notes app on your own device to keep track of assignments
2. Charged Chromebook - I have some chargers in case of emergency but please plan ahead and charge the night before.
3. Text we are reading: If a novel or play, bring your signed out copy each day.  Other shorter texts will be available in Google Classroom for you.
