The 11th grade learning experience consists of 7 mostly month-long units aligned to the Common Core State Standards, with available course material for teachers and students easily accessible online. Over the course of the year there is a steady progression in text complexity levels, sophistication of writing tasks, speaking and listening activities, and increased opportunities for independent and collaborative work. Rubrics and student models accompany many writing assignments.Throughout the 11th grade year, in addition to the Common Read texts that the whole class reads together, students each select an Independent Reading book and engage with peers in group Book Talks. Students move from learning the class rituals and routines and genre features of argument writing in Unit 11.1 to learning about narrative and informational genres in Unit 11.2: The American Short Story. Teacher resources provide additional materials to support each unit.

Essay Writing - Literature
Only Sharing Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

One of the most important lessons a student can learn in their English Language Arts class is how to critically think and communicate those ideas. As teachers, we strive to implement these two fundamental lessons within every class we teach. Essay writing, although a pain to many of our students, will help prepare our students for the world ahead of them. Our students will be expected to critically think through situations that they arise during the course of the lives and will most certainly be expected to respond. Though our students may not engross themselves into the depths of literature after they graduate, it is still just as important to instill a sense of literacy, education, culture, and critically responsive thoughts.

From Print to Digital: Technologies of the Word, 1450-Present

There has been much discussion in recent years, on this campus and elsewhere, about the death of the book. Digitization and various forms of electronic media, some critics say, are rendering the printed text as obsolete as the writing quill. In this subject, we will examine the claims for and against the demise of the book, but we will also supplement these arguments with an historical perspective they lack: we will examine texts, printing technologies, and reading communities from roughly 1450 to the present. We will begin with the theoretical and historical overviews of Walter Ong and Elizabeth Eisenstein, after which we will study specific cases such as English chapbooks, Inkan knotted and dyed strings, late nineteenth-century recording devices, and newspapers online today. We will also visit a rare book library and make a poster on a hand-set printing press.
