Welcome to English II, World Literature!
Course Overview and Objectives
Welcome to English II, World Literature! Through reading primarily World Literature, students in English II focus on the NC Essential standards for reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. Students should expect homework assignments and/or compositions that reinforce classroom instruction. Students will be required to do some outside reading as part of this course. Writing instruction at this level focuses on mechanical correctness, fluency, and structure. Students will focus on argumentative and informational writing. The student is expected to function at grade level in communication and thinking skills, and these skills will be reinforced through students participating in creating and delivering a speech and focusing on digital publication.
English II is a heterogeneous course, in which honors and academic students are taught together. As a part of this arrangement, students will receive differentiated instruction appropriate to the course they are taking. So, while all students will be held to high standards and will have the same overall learning objectives, at times they will be given different activities and assignments to practice these objectives and to demonstrate their mastery of learning.
