    English 10 

    Attendance - students must participate in the entire lesson (virtual classroom and assignment) in order to be marked present

    Grading Policy: Classwork - 60% Assessments 40%

    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 British and American literature
    examining the impact of war, the prevalence of inequality, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Once again, a core
    component of the English curriculum is independent reading, which requires students to continually strengthen literacy skills and
    broaden intellectual horizons through reading choice texts. Students will also complete a wide range of writing assignments
    (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.
