ENGLISH 5 (Grade 12)
(ENG1008) 

This course integrates the study of reading, writing, listening and speaking.  The literature in the twelfth grade program focuses on the important voices in American Literature from the Colonial Period through the 20th Century. Readings also include contemporary essays that evaluate the ironies and paradoxes in American society. The writing component, which includes a variety of personal writing, also presents a series of formal composition assignments: prose analyses, poetry analyses, the expository essay, and creative response pieces. A primary focus of grade 12 English is to reinforce those skills considered most important for success with college-level work. Prerequisite: English 4
