Students analyze a variety of genres to understand the structural elements and the relationship of those elements to the meaning of the work and its literary tradition. Through frequent personal and literary writing, students study the principal essay forms of narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive, and documented essays. Students increase vocabulary, evaluate critically, write and speak persuasively and responsibly, as well as present dramatic material effectively. Assessment will include an external student examination.
