Honors
English 9
The English 9 Honors course is an overview of exemplar
selections of literature in fiction and nonfiction genres. Students
read shortstories, poems, a full-length novel, and a full-length
Shakespeare play, analyzing the use of elements of literature in
developingcharacter, plot, and theme. For example, in selected
stories, students compare the effect of setting on tone and
characterdevelopment. Likewise, in the poetry unit, students
analyze how artists and writers draw from and interpret source
material.
Each unit includes informational texts inviting students to
consider the historical, social, and literary context of the main
texts theystudy. For example, in the first semester, a Nikolai
Gogol story that is offered as an exemplar of magical realism is
accompanied byinstruction on that genre. Together, the lesson
content and reading prompt students to demonstrate their
understanding of magicalrealism by analyzing its qualities in a
literary text.
Throughout the course, students respond to others' claims and
support their own claims in essays, discussions, and
presentations,consistently using thorough textual evidence. The
range of texts includes canonical authors such as William
Shakespeare, FranzKafka, and Elie Wiesel, as well as writers from
diverse backgrounds, such as Alice Walker, Li-Young Lee, and Robert
Lake-Thom(Medicine Grizzlybear).
