In this course, students will think critically while actively reading for explicit and implicit meaning as they examine both literary and informational texts. Texts include foundational U.S. and world documents, as well as a guided reading of a Shakespearean play. Students will write for a variety of purposes including developing and supporting argumentative claims, creating informative and expository responses, and crafting narratives that develop real or imagined events. The course places an emphasis on identifying and using textual evidence to support critical analysis whether it be for a written or spoken response. Finally, students will acquire effective listening and speaking skills and be able to transfer those specific skills into a collaborative setting.
