The course is divided into components: grammar, concentrating on obtaining a solid understanding of the parts of speech and moving into more complex concepts; vocabulary, extending the student’s vocabulary while teaching strategies for deciphering meaning and analyzing words; writing, emphasizing the formal rules of composition and organizational structures, while incorporating creative writing and projects; and literature, exposing students to a variety of literary forms, including prose novels, graphic novels, short stories, and poetry. In literature and in their writing, students will examine the concept of “power” and will ask questions such as: How do we define power? How is it obtained and maintained? Who are the insiders and outsiders in society and why?
