English Language Arts 11 - Liberty High School

Building on analysis, critical thinking, speaking, listening, and writing skills, students will continue to make evidence-based claims while comparing multiple pieces of literary, informational, and historical test. Attention will be given to author purpose and the strategies authors employ in their writing. Students will apply this understanding, in multiple genres, to demonstrate how a writer's style contributes to the effectiveness of a selection. Argumentative, expository, and research writing are key instructional areas which will prepare students for college-level writing requirements. Students will be expected to achieve proficiency levels in 11th grade reading and writing standards which expand on the 9-10 academic standard requirements.
