Students study a variety of literature to develop an awareness of the relationship between life and literary experience while completing all objectives of grade 9. Writing frequently for varied purposes, students develop critical thinking skills in analyzing and evaluating. Modified Oxford debates help develop oral skills. Vocabulary is increased through a study of Greek and Latin roots. Several independent research projects, large and small group participation, required outside reading, and a study of persuasion in the media are all part of this course.
