1 GRADE 12 High school students enhance reading comprehension skills using structural analysis. Students expand their vocabulary and knowledge of words through context, word study, and multi-media resources. They read and comprehend grade appropriate text with fluency and expand their use of reading strategies and skills across content areas. They use the writing process to compose a variety of multi-paragraph texts with an awareness of audience and purpose. Students revise drafts and then edit for mechanics, word usage, and sentence structure. They formulate questions, research a topic, and write multi-paragraph text to inform or persuade. Students also write summaries. Students may publish their work. They participate in and sometimes lead group discussions. Students expand active listening skills and demonstrate public speaking techniques.
