“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
English III
Course Description:
According to the NC English Language Arts Curriculum Guide:
Students in English III will integrate all the language arts skills gained throughout their education. The curriculum both affirms these skills and equips the students to be life-long learners. Students continue to explore expressive, expository, argumentative, and literary contexts with a focus on American Literature. The emphasis in English III is on critical analysis of texts through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and using media. Students will
Express reflections and reactions to texts.
Explain principles inspired by the curriculum.
Interpret and qualify texts.
Research and address issues of public or personal concern.
Create products and presentations which maintain standard conventions of the written and spoken language.
Students in the English II course will explore American literature more widely and deeply, including more challenging and/or complete print and non-print texts. The English III course fosters intellectual curiosity by encouraging students to generate thought-provoking questions and topics and to research diverse sources. Honors courses will require students to work as self-directed and reflective learners, both independently and in groups as leaders and collaborators. Higher level thinking skills will be emphasized through interdisciplinary and critical perspectives as reflected in the quality of student performance in oral language, written language, and other media/technology.
