English/Honors III Explanation
When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” -Confucius
The eleventh-grade year is both a challenging and important year for high school students. Students begin taking college entrance exams, ACT and SAT exams in the eleventh-grade, including three that pertain specifically to English Language Arts: Grammar Mechanics and Usage, Writing analytically and the Mid-Term and End-of-Course Test for American Literature.
Furthermore, this is an important year because we are studying American literature—the documents that make up the backbone for our government and our culture. By the end of the year, students should have some opinion about what it means to be an American, and they should have improved communications skills so that they can be successful American citizens and be an active participants to the world in which they live.
