English 1 emphasizes the improvement of writing skills through well-developed paragraphs and basic essays, develops effective oral communication through discussions and presentations, enhances the appreciation of literature through analysis and interpretation, teaches beginning research skills, and provides instruction in written and oral language conventions.
English 1X is an accelerated English course that emphasizes the same curriculum as English 1. However, students read additional works of greater difficulty and will be expected to achieve an advanced level of coherence, unity and critical thinking in their work.
