English Language Arts 12
“The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring |
]COURSE DESCRIPTION:
ELA 12 is a class designed to prepare high school seniors for their life after high school, whether this involves joining the military, entering the work force, or continuing their education at an institution of higher learning. That is why the primary objective of this class is to make sure ALL students, by the end of the school year, have acquired the necessary English skills required for both college and the workplace.
Students will also be asked to critically evaluate the roles and responsibilities of the individual in society and will develop a world perspective by analyzing classic and contemporary texts such as The Great Gatsby and Night, while improving their listening, viewing, language skills (through regular vocabulary enrichment and grammar practice), and communication skills through writing assignments and oral presentations. Most importantly, they will finalize a resume, create a cover letter and participate in a Mock Interview/Career Fair at Bay College in the spring.
