In English 9 students will analyze multiple genres of literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama) and produce writing tasks that are appropriate for task, purpose, and audience based on comprehension of themes and understandings from readings. Students will apply correct usage of English grammar and vocabulary within writing assignments. All unit lessons have been aligned with the College and Career Readiness Standards for English Language and designed to prepare students to successfully demonstrate proficiency on the PARCC exam which will be given by the end of the course.
