Flagler Palm Coast High School

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to provide English 1 students, using texts of high complexity, integrated language arts study in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language for college and career preparation and readiness.
The content should include, but not be limited to, the following:

• active reading of varied texts for what they say explicitly, as well as the logical inferences that can be drawn
• analysis of literature and Informational texts from varied literary periods to examine: text craft and structure, elements of literature; arguments and claims supported by textual evidence; power and impact of language; influence of history, culture, and setting on language; personal critical and aesthetic response
• writing for varied purposes: developing and supporting argumentative claims; crafting coherent, supported informative/expository texts; responding to literature for personal and analytical purposes; writing narratives to develop real or imagined events; writing to sources using text- based evidence and reasoning
• effective listening, speaking, and viewing strategies with emphasis on the use of evidence to support or refute a claim in multimedia presentations, class discussions, and extended text discussions
• collaboration amongst peers

Additional Information

Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor.  Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted.  Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.

Course Description

This course defines what students should understand and be able to do by the end of 12th grade. Knowledge acquisition should be the primary purpose of any reading approach as the systematic building of a wide range of knowledge across domains is a prerequisite to higher literacy. At this grade level, students are working with universal themes and archetypes. They are also continuing to build their facility with rhetoric, the craft of using language in writing and speaking, using classic literature, essays, and speeches as mentor texts.  
The benchmarks in this course are mastery goals that students are expected to attain by the end of the year. To build mastery, students will continue to review and apply earlier grade-level benchmarks and expectations.
