Honors English 9
English 9 Honors is an accelerated one-year program that is the foundation for the sequentially designed Honors/AP English Program. Students will analyze and interpret a variety of texts including novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and drama. Students will focus on writing as a process especially in the area of literary analysis. Students will be asked to work independently and collaboratively on student-centered, creative long-term projects. Students will read texts in addition to what is required for English 9 on themes including coming of age, search for identity, the role of community, and hero’s journey. Note: the grade for this Honors course is not weighted for GPA purposes.
