COURSE OVERVIEW
Language Arts 700 is a thematic study of literature that explores accounts of earth, space, and survival. Throughout this
course, students will delve into texts that span the genres of narrative fiction, poetry, literary nonfiction, and
informational texts. Students will demonstrate their understanding of various works by analyzing how common themes
like exploration, innovation, and courage are able to transcend diverse time periods and genres. They will also develop
their writing skills as they focus on the six traits while producing argumentative, narrative, and expository compositions.
With a strong emphasis on close reading instruction, research activities, and speaking and listening tasks, this course will
help students expand their understanding of literature while building 21st century skills.
Curriculum decisions for this course are guided by the Common Core State Standards. These standards were developed
to provide clear and consistent goals for student learning and to ensure that students have the skills they need to be
successful beyond high school. These standards define what students need to know and be able to do by the end of each
grade. In addition to defining grade-level skills, the ELA standards require that students be exposed to increasingly more
complex texts to which they apply those skills. In order for curriculum to align to these standards, it must be both
rigorous and relevant. It must also expose students to certain critical content. In English language arts, that content
includes high-quality contemporary works, the classics of American literature, and the timeless dramas of Shakespeare.
English 700 students will be enriched as they expand their skills and confidence in English language arts through a
comprehensive study that includes the following units:
Unit 1 - Skill Workshop: In this unit, students will review skills learned in previous courses, while demonstrating a grasp
of literary analysis at the 6th grade level. Students will also have the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of writing,
research, and content-area vocabulary.
Unit 2 – Lands of Ice and Snow: This unit focuses on mankind’s struggle with the wild elements of nature. The anchor
piece for this unit is the story of a dog who is kidnapped and taken to the wilds of Alaska, where he must adapt and
endure its rough terrain during the Klondike gold rush. The novel will highlight themes of survival and adaptation in the
natural world. Students will also read a selection of poetry and nonfiction that will cause them to think about man’s
relationship with nature, and our own mortality.
Unit 3 – Courage in Everyday Journeys: In this unit, students will consider the meaning of courage, both in fictional
characters, and in real life. The anchor for this unit is the theatrical version of The Diary of Anne Frank, based on the true
story that details the experience of a young girl who finds her life in danger during the Holocaust. Students will also be
exposed to a collection that includes the fictional works of Mark Twain, the biography of Steve Jobs, and an historical
essay by Susan B. Anthony. Throughout each selection, students will build on their understanding of characterization by
comparing the courage of their fictional heroes with that of real men and women.
Unit 4 – Sea Journeys: The unifying theme of this unit is centered around the notion of exploration and discovery.
Students will explore the concept of symbolism as they examine how different authors portray the sea as a symbol of
adventure and freedom. They will view this symbol as a common thread that links the works of poetry, fiction, and
articles throughout the unit. The focal point of the unit, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, will provide an
opportunity for students to examine internal and external conflict as they follow the journey of self-discovery through
the eyes of this mythological heroine.
Unit 5 – Extreme Frontiers: The focus of this unit highlights the journey of mankind in their quest to achieve the
impossible. Through a collection of narrative fiction, literary nonfiction, biography, and essay, students will be exposed
to themes of exploration and discovery. Anchoring this unit, is The First Men in the Moon, by H.G. Wells. Throughout the
course of this science fiction text, students will examine the visionary quality of men who would dare to stand up to a
challenge. Students will also develop their skill in writing and analyzing argumentative essays while learning new
strategies to build vocabulary acquisition.
Unit 6 – Ancient Lands: This unit will take students on a journey into ancient history as they examine the link between
mythological stories and contemporary ideas. As students connect with the mythical heroes of ancient Greece and
Rome, they will observe the intersection between ancient culture and the values of our modern-day society. Throughout
this collection of fictional stories and nonfiction articles, students will develop background knowledge of mythological
constructs while considering the ways in which having an understanding of the past can shape our future.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Language Arts 800 is a survey of literature that explores the work of various writers of different time periods through
an historical lens. Students should enter this course with a foundation in analyzing, through a close study, various genres
of literature and making connections with historical perspectives and the arts. In this course, students will build on these
skills by studying a range of classic and contemporary literature to convey themes of American History, Natural History,
World Civilization, and Air and Space. Students will also develop their writing skills while producing informative,
argumentative, and narrative compositions. Supported by a balance of fictional and informational texts, students will
learn and practice close reading, modeled reading, writing, speaking, and listening strategies.
grade. In addition to defining grade-level skills, the ELA standards require that students be exposed to increasingly more
complex texts to which they apply those skills. In order for curriculum to align to these standards, it must be both
includes high-quality contemporary works, the classics of American literature, and the timeless dramas of Shakespeare.
English 800 students will be enriched as they expand their skills and confidence in English language arts through a
comprehensive study that includes the following units:
Unit 1 - Skill Workshop: In this unit, students will review skills learned in previous courses, while demonstrating a grasp
of literary analysis at the 7th grade level. Students will also have the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of writing,
research, and content-area vocabulary.
Unit 2 – American History Collection: This unit focuses on the study of America’s early history from the heroic battle for
independence through the turbulent Civil War. The anchor piece for this unit is Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. In
this novel, students will encounter themes of family, sacrifice, and individuality as they journey with the March sisters in
this coming of age story. Students will also read a selection of poetry and nonfiction that will cause them to consider the
values of America’s first citizens and the will that drove them to fight for freedom.
Unit 3 – Display of Natural History: In this unit, students will encounter work from authors in Europe and America
through an exploration into what captures the imagination of a society. Anchoring this study is Jules Verne’s Journey to
the Center of the Earth. Written during a time period when much of Europe hungered for stories of new explorations
and adventure, Verne’s science fiction tale takes readers on a perilous journey into undiscovered territory. Students will
also be exposed to a collection that includes the short stories of French author, Guy de Maupassant, and American
writers, Edgar Allen Poe and Shirley Jackson.
Unit 4 – World Civilization: In this unit, students will explore the literature and culture of ancient civilizations in Egypt,
Greece, and Japan. During this unit, students will have an opportunity to synthesize information from various texts to
uncover universal themes within literature. Students will also examine the role of historical context in literary analysis.
In the short stories included in this unit, students will be encouraged to evaluate the link between the past and present
as they view the world around them through the eyes of ancient societies.
Unit 5 – Fine Art Gallery: The focus of this unit highlights the connection between the themes and experiences
expressed in the art and literature of a society. Anchoring this unit, is Vincent Van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist, by Jan
Greenburg. In this biography, students will encounter the struggle of a determined artist who was driven by a need to
communicate his passions on canvas. In addition to a study of various nonfiction texts, students will also encounter a
collection of poetry that will allow them to explore the conversation between literature and the visual arts.
Unit 6 – Air & Space Mezzanine: This unit will take students on a journey with the Wright Brothers as they work
tenaciously towards the goal of building a flying machine. In the autobiographical memoir, “The Early History of the
Airplane,” students will consider how these pioneers overcame failure and set-backs and eventually went on to make
history. Students will link themes from this text to other writings as they engage in a study of the innovations that have
changed the society that we live in. Throughout this collection of fiction and nonfiction works, students will explore
themes of destiny, determination, and vision.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Students should enter this course with a foundation in fiction, drama, poetry, mythology, and nonfiction. This course will
provide them with the opportunity to build on that foundation. They will engage in in-depth analysis of more complex
literature, view that literature from its historical perspective, and connect it to other arts. They will write literary
analyses, logical arguments, informational/explanatory texts, narratives, and focused research projects. These writing
tasks will be both formal and informal. Additionally, they will engage in speaking and listening activities that use and
incorporate media and technology. As a result of the reading, writing, speaking, and listening students will do in this
course, they will grow their vocabulary and their understanding of how to communicate effectively by making skillful
choices when expressing themselves with language.

literature, and Shakespeare. English I students will begin their climb up this staircase of skills through their study of the
following genres:

Short Stories: In this unit, students will gain a deeper understanding of common literary elements through the
study of selected short stories. The goal will be to teach students how to apply this understanding to their
reading, their writing, and their everyday life.

Literary Nonfiction: Students will read a variety of nonfiction forms, including autobiography, memoir, essay,
and speech. Selections will focus on writings about growing up, education, liberty, and politics. Students will
consider the way in which each of these selections are reflective in nature and encourage readers and listeners
to look at events and ideas in a new way.

Epic Poetry: In this unit, students will focus on epic poetry as its own genre. Students will read Homer's The
Odyssey in its entirety, as well as informational texts providing historical context, and various selections of
poetry that draw on Homer's work. As a way of further exploring the theme of the unit, "heroism," students will
also read selected works of nonfiction that address that theme from a more contemporary perspective.

Drama: The focus of this unit will be on drama as a literary form with an emphasis on tragedy. Students will be
introduced to philosophy by reading an excerpt from Aristotle’s Poetics. They will then read the sources for
and the text of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and compare the treatment of related themes in the two plays.

Novel: This unit will focus on the novel as a literary form. Students will apply and expand their understanding of
literary elements as they read To Kill a Mockingbird. Students will explore a number of unifying themes as they
read the novel, including honor, courage, intolerance, and compassion and these concepts will provide the basis
for their writing, speaking, and other learning activities throughout the unit. A study of various informational
texts will illuminate the historical context of the novel.

Poetry: students will study the genre of poetry and its concentrated blend of sound and imagery, as well as the
personal and the universal. Students will examine poetic form, rhyme, meter, devices, imagery and language.
Students will study poems from different eras and different cultures. Students will also be introduced to
literary criticism which will provide the basis for a research project and presentation.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Grade 10 students will study literature that spans centuries, continents, and genres. Each of the four thematicallyintegrated units encourages close study of this literature and its context. Students will gain valuable cultural insight as
they read and write about works depicting the social, personal, religious, and political struggles and triumphs faced by
people all over the world and all through history. Students will continue to build their literacy skills by engaging in

ENGLISH III CCSS
COURSE OVERVIEW
English III is a survey of American Literature and literary culture from its inception through the twentieth century.
Students will explore the major literary forms, themes, authors, and periods of American Literature. They will
understand how this literature represents the experiences of people native to America, those who immigrated to
America, and those who were brought to America against their will. Emphasis is placed on a rhetorical analysis of the
literature to determine how authors achieve a particular purpose or effect. Through focused readings, composition,
speaking and listening activities, vocabulary study and research, students will continue to build the literacy skills they
need to meet the challenges of high school and beyond.
literature, and Shakespeare. English III students will continue their climb up this staircase of skills through their study of

Unit 1: Intersection in a New World: The focus of this unit will be on the earliest American literature. Students
will read first-hand accounts of the dreams and the challenges the first settlers in the New World faced. They
will read fiery Puritan sermons and the cultured poetry of a young slave. The reading will highlight the
intersection, and resulting conflicts, of Native American, European, and African American cultures as well as
establish some of the themes that will appear in the literature of America for centuries to come.

Unit 2: Becoming a Nation: The focus of this unit will be on the historic and literary significance of documents
relating to the establishment of the new government in America as well as on some of the poetry and prose of
the period. Students will compare and contrast points of view presented on related issues. They will also
compare and contrast the tone used in foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution. They will use what they learn about the qualities of an effective argument to create one of their
own.

Unit 3: American Romanticism: This unit will focus on the romantic literature that dominated America during
the first part of the nineteenth century. Students will explore how the romantics revolted against the "cog in
the wheel" philosophy of the eighteenth century and instead celebrated intuition, spontaneity, subjectivity,
nature and, above all, individuality. They will compare the different aspects of American romanticism by
examining the Gothic tales of writers like Poe and Hawthorne as well as the transcendental explorations of
writers like Emerson and Thoreau. The slave narrative, a sub-genre of romanticism, will provide students with
a glimpse into the protest and struggle for identity these Americans faced.

Unit 5: Regional Voices: In this unit, students will continue to explore the theme of individualism, expanding
their idea of what that looked for all Americans in the nineteenth century. They will look at the issues of racism,
slavery, inequality and displacement through the words of those who experienced these issues first hand and
those who worked to make America a more tolerant nation. They will also explore the theme of regionalism
and examine how fictional characters in the works of writers like Twain and Jewett express the challenges
facing America in this period.

Unit 6: American Modernism: This unit explores American literature from the beginning of the 20th century
through the Great Depression. Students will be introduced to the characteristics that define literature as
modern and analyze those characteristics in poetry, fiction and drama. Because the movement is complex, the
unit is subdivided into categories allowing for a more focused analysis of the different aspects of modernism
and its writers.

Unit 7: Post WW II: This unit focuses on the literature that followed the Second World War and takes students
up to what is known as the postmodern period in literature. Like the previous unit, this final unit is divided into
sub-categories. Students will read representative works from the abundance of southern literature. The unit
also includes a number of selections from the 1960s that mirror this turbulent decade's struggle with issues
similar to ones we face today.

ENGLISH IV CCSS
COURSE OVERVIEW
By twelfth grade, students have repeatedly peered through the window to humanity that literature has opened for
them. Through it, they have gained valuable perspective on their world, past and present. Their close-textual interaction
with literature over the past three years should have heightened their appreciation for those texts, improved their
critical and analytical skills in reading and writing, enhanced their speaking and listening abilities, and enriched their
academic and personal vocabulary. The window will now open on selected works of European literature from the
twelfth century through the twenty-first century. Students will approach this literature chronologically, so they can see
the influences on and evolution of the ideas and forms. Writing, research, and speaking assignments will continue to
focus on formulating and expressing ideas and arguments about the readings. Particular emphasis will be placed on
gaining critical perspective on the relationship between content and form and on synthesizing ideas into clear and
concise prose and presentations.
literature, and Shakespeare. English IV students will complete their climb up this staircase of skills through their study of

Unit 1: Framing Western Literature: Students will explore selected works of medieval literature and
philosophy and draw connections between the two. Students will closely examine the narrative structure of
the literary works and how that structure affects the content. They will explore literary elements such as
allegory and satire, noting the way in which these elements reflect social and philosophical views.

Unit 2: Humanism: Students will explore selected philosophical and literary works of the Renaissance, looking
closely at the value they place on human beings. Within the selected works, students will explore the humanist
philosophy of secularism, the appreciation of worldly pleasures, and the emphasis on individual expression.
They will compare the works of this period with those of the Middle Ages, looking at their differences and
similarities. The writing focus will be on argumentation. The unit will culminate with a multimedia research
project.

Unit 3: The Quest for Knowledge: In this unit, students will look at the philosophical and literary writings of the
late seventeenth and the eighteenth century, focusing their emphasis on reform, reason, and science. Students
will explore themes of man's divided nature, sin and redemption, economic inequality, vanity and hypocrisy.
Special attention will be paid to the literary form known as satire and what it reveals about the author's
purpose. Also included in this unit is a seminal work of science fiction.

Unit 5: Head and Heart: The focus of this unit will be on the conflict between reason and emotion that is
prevalent in the literature and philosophy of the early nineteenth century and the emphasis on emotion in early
romantic works. Students begin the unit by reading Austen's Sense and Sensibility, the novel that captures this
conflict in its title and its characters. Students will read excerpts from Rousseau's philosophy on the nature of
man which provides the philosophical basis for the romantic works that follow. The writing focus for this unit
will be on deep revision. Students will examine revisions done by poets read in this unit. They will then create
and revise their own narrative piece

Unit 6: The Individual and Society: This unit will focus on works and authors concerned with the place of the
individual in society during the nineteenth century. As with other units, students will read some of the
important philosophical works of the period and examine how those philosophies informed the works that
follow. Students will write a literary analysis which compares/contrasts an idea in two of the works from the
unit.

Unit 7: The Search for Meaning: This unit will focus on literature from the first half of the twentieth century
and the philosophies that informed it. Students will explore how literary artists grappled with questions about
the nature of existence, the meaning of life, the human psyche, and alienation. The unit will culminate with a

and features of the earth including the crust, water, atmosphere, weather, and climate. Earth science wraps up with
astronomy and a study of all the planets, the solar system, and galaxies. The course strives to teach that each feature of
the earth interacts with the others in many critical ways, and the study of these relationships is important to humanity.
Students at this level should show development in their understanding of scientific inquiry. Some of the units contain
experiments and projects that seek to develop meaning and to actively engage the student. The continued exposure to
science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the students' skill and understanding.

BIOLOGY
COURSE OVERVIEW
Biology is intended to expose students to the designs and patterns of living organisms and their interactions with the
environment. In preceding years, students should have developed a foundational understanding of life sciences.
Expanding on that, this Biology course will incorporate more abstract knowledge. The student’s understanding should
encompass both the micro and macro aspects of life, and this biology course includes both. The major concepts covered
are taxonomy, the chemical basis of life, cellular structure and function, genetics, microbiology, plant structure and
function, animal structure and function, and ecology and the environment.
Students at this level should show development in their understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain
experiments and projects that seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for students and that actively engage them.
The continued exposure of science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the students’ skills and
understanding.
Biology should be preceded or accompanied by an Algebra I course.

CHEMISTRY
COURSE OVERVIEW
Chemistry is intended to provide a more in-depth study of matter and its interactions. In preceding years students
should have developed an understanding for the macroscopic properties of substances and been introduced to the
microstructure of substances. This chemistry course will expand upon that knowledge, further develop the
microstructure of substances and teach the symbolic and mathematical world of formulas, equations, and symbols.
The major concepts covered are measurement in chemistry, atomic structure, chemical formulas and bonding, chemical
reactions, stoichiometry, gases, chemical equilibrium, and organic chemistry. Students at this level should show
development in their ability and understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain experiments and projects that
seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for the student and actively engage the student. The continued exposure
of science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the student's skill and understanding.
Chemistry should be preceded by an Algebra I course and preceded or accompanied by an Algebra II course.

PHYSICS
COURSE OVERVIEW
Physics is intended to provide a more in-depth study of the physical universe. In preceding years students should have
developed a basic understanding for the macroscopic and microscopic world of forces, motion, waves, light, and
electricity. The physics course will expand upon that prior knowledge and further develop both. The curriculum will also
seek to teach the symbolic and mathematical world of formulas and symbols used in physics. The major concepts
covered are kinematics, forces and motion, work and energy, waves, sound and light, electricity and magnetism, and
nuclear physics.
Students at this level should show development in their ability and understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain
experiments and projects that seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for students and actively engage them. The
continued exposure to science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the students' skill and
understanding.
Physics should be preceded by Algebra I and II courses and geometry. Upon completion of the course, students should
be able to do the following:







Use scalars and vectors to visualize and calculate concepts of motion.
Articulate Newton's and Kepler's laws of motion.
Demonstrate an understanding of how energy is transferred and changed from one form to another.
Describe how sound and light waves act and react.
Differentiate between static and current electricity and describe each one.
Know the relationship between magnetism and electricity.
Have a general understanding of atomic theory, including fusion and fission.

CIVIL WAR
COURSE OVERVIEW
You are about to embark on the fascinating history of the Civil War. It is a story of human choices that linked the past to
the present and influenced the future. It is a drama of how one nation changed through times of conflict and
cooperation. It is a tale of two children (the North and South) living under the same roof (The United States) and how
they disagreed over the issues of states' rights and slavery.
As you study the Civil War, you will detect patterns in the way people thought and acted. You will see familiar patterns
in how battles were won and lost. You will also note how events happening today affect the future. The principle of
cause and effect applies in everything you do.
Even today, there are some people who believe the South won the Civil War or that the North had no right to abolish
slavery. Others cannot believe that people from the South found nothing wrong with enslaving fellow human beings. For
all these people, their view of history differs from one another based on their perspective.
Regardless of where you stand, enjoy learning about this period in American history. It is filled with heroism and
cowardness, conflict and cooperation, heartache and joy, triumph and tragedy. Hopefully, you will be able to apply the
enduring understandings mentioned above to advance your understanding America.

MEDIA STUDIES
COURSE OVERVIEW
This semester-long course is part of a worldwide educational movement called media literacy. The goal of the media
literacy movement is to educate people about how the media impacts both individuals and society as a whole. Students
will examine media such as magazines, the Internet, video games, and movies. They'll learn the kinds of strategies that
advertisers use to persuade people to buy products. They'll also explore how news broadcasters choose which stories to
air. Lessons and projects encourage students to examine ways in which media helps shape our culture and the ways in
which our culture shapes the media. While many media literacy courses focus upon learning how to make media, this
one will focus exclusively on analyzing the media.
Throughout the course, students are asked to answer questions or to reflect on what they've read in their notes. The

MUSIC THEORY
COURSE OVERVIEW
Music Theory is a semester-length fine arts elective for high school students. The course requires no prior instrumental,
vocal, or music theory study. Using the piano keyboard as a visual basis for comprehension, the course materials explore
the nature of music, integrating these concepts:







rhythm and meter
written music notation
the structure of various scale types
interval qualities
melody and harmony
the building of chords
transposition
Throughout the series of assignments, ear training exercises are interspersed with the bones of composition technique,
building in students the ability not only to hear and appreciate music, but step-by-step, to create it in written form as
well.
This highly interactive course culminates in the students producing original compositions, which while based on
standard notation, demonstrate facets of personal expression. As the students’ ability to perform increases in the
future, they will better understand music and therefore better demonstrate its intrinsic communication of emotion and
ideas.

minimum of four high school level mathematics courses that cover analytical and conceptual algebra (with heavy
emphasis on functions), coordinate and plane geometry, and trigonometric functions. It is highly recommended that the
student successfully complete pre-calculus as a prerequisite. The course primarily focuses on the skills and methods of
analyzing graphical behavior of functions, the definition of a derivative as well as applications of derivatives, integration
and their relationships with the graphical function.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION
COURSE OVERVIEW
Congratulations on your decision to take English Language and Composition (for use with AP* courses). Your choice
suggests that you are an accomplished, confident reader and writer. In most cases, students who elect to take this class
are seeking a course that is academically challenging, and they expect to work hard. English Language and Composition
is a year-long, college-level course that will require independence, initiative, and commitment—not to mention a full
schedule of reading and writing assignments. The reward for your efforts will be the empowerment that comes from
finely honed communication skills, greatly enhanced chances of college success, and the possibility of college credit and
higher placement in college composition courses. Although taking the College Board Advanced Placement* Examination
in May is not a condition of enrolling in this class, doing so is encouraged for everyone and is required for those students
seeking college credit. One goal of this class is to help you prepare for that examination.
The course content links United States Literature and Composition. In the fall of 2005 the College Board announced
changes in the design of the AP* Language and Composition exam. One of the new expectations is that nonfiction will be
at the heart of the exam. Anticipate being engaged in careful reading of nonfiction texts that will always include a close
analysis of the ways writers use the resources of language to achieve their purposes and connect with their intended
audiences. You will also be participating in an ongoing investigation of issues and ideas. Although our focus will be on
language and the way language works, you will find that your studies in this class and your past or present studies in
United States history will be mutually supportive. However, fiction, poetry, and drama will receive a lesser emphasis
than in your past English courses.
Reading
Reading critically will be a major factor in your success. You will be reading not only to understand content, but also to
understand the writer's craft. Assigned texts come from a variety of historical periods and serve a wide range of
purposes and audiences. Your assigned reading will come from historical documents, professional and technical journals,
personal narratives, news reports, Op/Ed columns, literary criticism, speeches and many other sources. Many of your
texts will be visual, and a portion of this course is about learning to "read" visual text. Reading skills you will be expected
to demonstrate include:










Getting facts straight
Identifying an author's thesis, whether stated or implied
Identifying stated and unstated assumptions
Analyzing an author's argument (and realizing that argument is about much more than winning or losing; it is
much more than debate)
Examining an author's reasoning and evidence
Identifying the basic features of style
Identifying structure and patterns of development
Exploring your personal response and those aspects of the text that evoke that response
Evaluating a text overall and determining its significance
Exploring the connections you find between and among texts
335
2014
Writing
An equally important aim of this course is to help you develop your abilities as a writer. You will write frequently in
response to a variety of formal and informal tasks. There will be more information on your Response Journal
requirement in Unit One. You will work hard to produce writing that is characterized by:








A wide-ranging vocabulary, chosen for its precision and for its appropriateness for both the audience and the
task
A variety of sentence structures including effective use of subordination and coordination, periodic and loose
sentence structures, and an understanding of how these can be used to create rhythm, balance, and emphasis
Logical organization enhanced to increase coherence (transitions, repetition, and parallelism)
An effective balance of assertions and support
Thoughtful attention to revision and editing
Overall mastery of grammar, usage, spelling, and punctuation
Attribution of sources using Modern Language Association conventions
Focus, clarity, and substance, even under timed conditions
Unit Structure
Each unit begins with a listing of Unit Objectives. These highlight the skills and knowledge that you are expected to
master by the time you complete the unit. Next there will be a listing of Readings for the unit. Your reading assignments
will come either from the texts you have purchased for the course, or from a series of separate readings accessible from
links in the assignments. Following the reading list, an introduction will give you a sense of the focus of the unit and what
you will need to know and do. The introduction will provide the kinds of overview you would generally get in a classroom
lecture.
The heart of the reading assignment is the Reading Guide. The guides give an introduction to each text to help you focus
your reading. For each selection, the reading guide highlights the issues you should attend to in the text, and provides a
context for understanding the writer's strategies and techniques. Plan to read each assignment at least twice. The better
you understand what you have read, the better prepared you will be to write the formal essay you will be submitting
when you have completed each unit.
Written Assignments
Most units will conclude with a Formal Essay Assignment. Each assignment will have different demands, so each unit
will include a detailed description of what you are expected to do, a suggestion of procedures for writing the essay, and
special instructions you will need to follow to complete the task. For these assignments, you are expected to submit
polished, academic writing that shows careful organization and revision.
To help guide your writing, every formal writing assignment will also include a self-rating and reflection guide to help
lead you through the same evaluation questions your instructor will use in grading your essay. Each unit will also include
a guide for peer feedback that you can give to a friend or family member to help judge your paper.
In most units, you will also find Response Journal assignments. These assignments represent less formal opportunities
to "think in ink" about issues and ideas in the reading assignments. Often you will have several prompts from which to
choose. Your response journal entries will be graded on how thoughtful they are, and how well they demonstrate your
engagement with the issues and ideas in the readings. They will not be evaluated for technical correctness and
organization in the way that a formal, revised paper would be.
Response journal assignments often fall in the middle of a unit and will be submitted as they are completed.
Finally, in some of the units there will be one or more multiple choice quizzes. The quizzes will be modeled after the kind
of questions you will encounter on the Multiple Choice section of the AP* exam.

AP* Exam-Track Students: Deadlines and Time Management
In addition to fulfilling the rigorous reading and writing requirements that are a part of this course, the ability to manage
time effectively—to handle short and longer term assignments simultaneously, to develop a personal schedule for
completing the course, and to submit papers according to that schedule—is essential for success in this course.
It will be important to manage your time carefully to complete Units 1 through 8 in a single semester, and Units 9
through 15 in the next semester. To help keep you on track, we have set suggested time limits for finishing the first half
and second half of the course. If you intend to take the AP* exam in May, you should stick closely to this schedule.
Midterm deadline for Units 1-8: Units 1 through 4 should be completed by mid-October
Final deadline for Units 1-8: Units 5 through 8 should be completed by mid-December
Midterm deadline for Units 9-15: Units 9 through 12 should be completed by mid-March
Final deadline for Units 9-15: Units 13 through 15 should be completed by early May
This means you will have approximately nine weeks to complete Units 1 through 4, nine weeks to complete Units 5
through 8, nine weeks to complete Units 9 through 12, and nine weeks to complete Units 13 through 15.
For more information on AP* exam dates, visit the College Board at
http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/ap/about/dates/next-year.
Grading
The most significant portion of your grades will be derived from the formal essays you submit with each unit. Point
values for these essays vary, but they always make up the clear majority of each unit's grade. In general, the essays will
be worth more as the semester progresses and your writing skills improve. Thus, the essay for Unit 1 is worth 75 points,
while the essay for Unit 2 is worth 100 points, and so on. Each assignment will clearly indicate the point value, and the
self-rating guide in each unit will indicate exactly how the points are derived.
Response journal assignments are also graded. A self-rating guide will also be provided for them where needed.
