Advanced English 10

Advanced English 10 spotlights the recursive moves that matter in preparing students for the demands of college and career ready reading and writing. This course builds upon the foundational routines of close observation, critical analysis, and appreciation of author's craft learned in Advanced English 9. As readers, students develop an awareness of how poets, playwrights, novelists, and writers of nonfiction manipulate language to serve their unique purposes. As writers, students compose more nuanced essays without losing sight of the importance of well-crafted sentences and a sense of cohesion. This course is an integral component of the multidisciplinary program of studies established for the Biotechnology Center, Center for Environmental and Natural Sciences, Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, Center for International Studies and Languages. For additional information, refer to the description of these programs in the specialty program section. This course meets all of the objectives for the English 10 Standards of Learning.
