3. English 1/ English 1 Honors In this class, students will learn the writing process from brainstorming all the way to a final copy of an essay after various drafts. Students will study the conventions of grammar, essay structure, and thesis statement. They will read literature and learn to study closely an author’s theme, style, and the plot cycle. Students will learn how to work in groups and make presentations in front of an audience. The emphasis, however, is clearly placed on developing powerful reading and writing skills through expansion of vocabulary and increasing written fluency in standard academic English.
