2022-2023 Course Outline ENG 10R

Welcome Students!

With an emphasis on global literature, our curriculum focuses on fiction and nonfiction texts used to explore thematic topics linked to concepts studied in Global History.  Through literary analysis, shared inquiry discussions, collaborative learning, public speaking activities, and independent research, students will develop their own questions and answers in the exploration of the following topics: 

• Perspective (Emotions/Experiences of Others & Ourselves)

• Freedom & Justice

• Importance & Significance of Storytelling

• Perseverance/ Resilience & Survival

• Use & Abuse of Power
  
  Supplies to bring to class each day:
