Junior English continues to build on students’ analytical reading and writing skills (including an emphasis on grammar, spelling, usage, and mechanics). As students will be exploring the foundations and evolution of American literature, they will read a series of complex literary texts and explore a central topic in each unit of study, students will be expected to express their understanding of the core body of knowledge and skills through a variety of written, oral, and multimodal expressions. Students will be prepared to take the SAT in their junior year. Additionally, the college essay is a staple writing genre in all junior English courses.
