Course Description
This course is designed for the college bound senior with a primary emphasis on college-ready modes of communication: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and close analysis of language. The core texts are a combination of classic and contemporary fiction, non-fiction, informational texts, all aligned with The Common Core and Jefferson County’s C-CAP pacing guides. English/Language Arts 12 blends composition, analytical reading, and literature into a cohesive whole. Students combine purposes, patterns, and genres in writing while incorporating research and rhetorical techniques. Collaboration and critical thinking lead to more complex presentations and products, with students honing their comprehension skills while reading more complicated literary and non-fiction texts. Ultimately students will be equipped with 21st century skills through the use of and application of various media and technology.
