| Description: | English Fundamentals provides students an introduction to sophisticated literary analysis, multiple modes of writing, and various literary genres. It also maintains a strong emphasis on vocabulary enrichment and grammar. Each lesson integrates basic terms, vocabulary words, reading passages and a writing assignment. The course is geared toward independent thinking, building from basic reading comprehension and grammar exercises in the beginning to comparative text analysis and grammatical self-correction by the end. The course includes two review lessons and frequently draws from previous lessons to inform and enrich later ones. This course meets state standards and is based on the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) standards. College Prep |
