Ninth grade students are expected to enhance all aspects of English language arts throughout the semester to build a strong foundation. They will become more aware and strategic in their approach to independently reading increasingly complex texts. While the focus in reading is on world literature, students will also learn to refine their writing process. By managing the research process, students will learn to investigate and present information in various formats, including written, visual, and oral. They will participate in discussions to explore the nuances of literature and practice communication skills with peers. Overall, students will develop skills in researching, questioning, presenting, reading, writing, and discussing.
