Description:

(Previously known as Language Arts 9 Honors EVP)

English 1 Honors EVP explores literature and composition through hands-on collaborative learning. As an Honor Student, you will dive deeper into short stories, poetry, nonfiction, novels, and drama to discover universal themes that relate to real-live experiences while practicing critical thinking skills such as analysis and evaluation. Grammar and vocabulary instruction are integrated into the weekly instruction, and are designed to help students’ writing grow in depth and complexity. As part of the EVP program, students will attend one live class (requried) each week that is rooted in discussion and interactive learning. Students will have weekly structured assignments that facilitate a traditional coursework schedule.

Special Notes:

This course is a part of the honors track, and intentional focus will be on the required knowledge and critical thinking and analytical skills to prepare a student to be successful in future upper level and Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses.
