• Welcome to English 10
     
    English 10 Course Description:

    English 10 continues to strengthen student skills as readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers.  The curriculum incorporates both literary and informational texts, with many texts drawn from 20th century American literature examining the impact of war, the prevalence of inequality, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.   Also, students will read nonfiction sources in order to identify claims and examine writers' use of evidence, and then develop thoughtful source-based arguments of their own.  Students will also complete a wide range of writing assignments (literary analysis, argumentative, narrative, and informative/explanatory) over varying periods of time.  For the final assessment, students develop a year-end writing portfolio compiling their best work and reflecting on the year.  NCAA approved course
