This course will focus on various writing styles – expository, persuasive, analytical, creative, and more. Students will read selected novels and stories, along with a series of nonfiction works. The goal is to end the year with a full portfolio of writing examples. HS English B is designed for upper high school students who are capable of critical thought, participating in discussions, and writing academic essays in MLA format. Students must have a Gmail account with Google Drive, as this is how most work will be submitted and graded.
The book list will be posted by August 1.
