English II (Semester II)
Course Description:
English 2 is a 10th grade Language Arts course that requires students to analyze literature,
literary nonfiction, speeches, and multimedia sources. The emphasis of the course is World Literature; American pieces are
included to provide counterpoints as they relate to the themes and targeted objectives. As students explore global literary
fiction and nonfiction, they learn how cultural context impacts the themes and styles of the different pieces, but also how
many aspects of the human experience are universal and transcend time and place. The course provides many
opportunities for students to hone their language and vocabulary skills using authentic literary texts as models. Students
use graphic organizers, checklists, and rubrics to evaluate and improve their reading, writing, language and presentation
skills
