1 English 10A Honors Syllabus School Year: Certificated Teacher: Course T itle: English 10A Honors Desired Results Credit: X one semester (.5) _ two semesters (1.0) Prerequisites and/or recommended preparation: English 9A and 9B or 9A Honors and 9B Honors Estimate of hours per week engaged in learning activities: 5 hours of class work per week per 18 week semester Instructional Materials: All learning activities (resources, assignments, assessments) are contained within or referenced in the student s online course. The online course is accessed via login and password assigned by student s school (web account) or ed directly to student upon enrollment, with the login website. Other resources required/resource Costs: Students will be required to independent reading for English 10 Honors designation, so students will need to access their school library or bookroom or the public library to complete the independent reading assignments. Course Description: The focus of this course is to offer students an extension of the core curriculum of English 10. Enrichment activities and assignments are provided throughout the course. The completion of this course prepares students to take more demanding, advanced placement classes. English 10 is a continuation and refinement of skills from the 9th grade. English 10 A&B will further challenge sophomores in the language arts. Grammar usage and a variety of writing are included. Writing strategies and skills will make up the writing strand. Students will read a variety of texts, practicing and further exploring and refining the skills of careful readers, including marking and annotating texts. Units are thematic, focusing on the power and significance of culture and community in our world, and include reading in fiction and non-fiction, short story, novel, drama, and poetry. ***Students pursuing the Honors distinction will complete the extension requirements which demonstrate the ability to meet English standards in a more complex, thorough and comprehensive manner. Enduring Understandings for Course (Performance Objectives): What will students understand (about what big ideas) as a result of the course? 1. Cultural identification is one way you create a sense of self in the world. Cultural background and experiences create a perspective from which you understand yourself, others, and the world. Each of us belongs to different and often overlapping groups and subcultures that shape and influence our perceptions of the world around us. Storytelling carries vital information about our cultures, histories and heritages. Writing is an effective means of communicating information. Writing communicates more than just information. Course Learning Goals (including Common Core Standards and/or National Standards): What is the key knowledge and skill needed to develop the desired understandings? Below are each Unit s overarching standards and the specific standards being addressed in each activity are listed under the activity itself.

4 Learning Activities These learning activities are aligned with the successful completion of the course learning goals and progress towards these learning activities will be reported monthly on a progress report. 1 st Semester English 10A Honors Learning Activities Unit: Unit 1 Voices of Modern Culture Duration: 9 Weeks Essential Understandings: What will students understand (about what big ideas) as a result of the unit? The aim of this unit is to help students realize that they are multi-voiced and multicultural. At the center of this unit is the student and his or her relation to language and culture. Students consider their own positions as speakers within a culture, including personal heritage, family and local traditions, personal experience and education. Students investigate the voices of writers who discuss questions of self-perception, cultural experience and voice in their works. The goal is for students to see themselves as users of language, with voices of their own that are similar to those of the writers whose works they are reading, thereby allowing them to make connections with literature and its writers. Essential Questions: How can cultural experiences shape, impact, or influence our perception of the world? How does voice function in and beyond the contexts of writing? Student Learning Targets: Students can: Initiate and participate in classroom discussions and blogs using a variety of prompts and resources showing their ability to communicate clearly and persuasively. Be organized and prepared for discussions (blogs, discussion boards) with materials read, text based evidence selected and ideas developed. Produce high quality communication through blogs, discussions, projects and writing assignments. Determine themes and central ideas within a text and explain it thoroughly using text based evidence to support their claims. Determine meanings of words and/or phrases to determine author s purpose, tone and effect on audience. Demonstrate ability to infer, analyze, evaluate and synthesize multiple pieces of reading. Analyze author s purpose for events, character development, plot structure and connections between similar texts. Analyze how an author uses rhetoric (writing structures) to create the point of view or purpose. Cite strong and thorough text based evidence to support analysis. Write for a variety of purposes: inform or explain, persuade and synthesize in a well developed, organized style that is appropriate for the task, purpose and audience. Write routinely in a variety of formats (blogs, discussions, reading responses, timed writes, media productions, essays) to demonstrate understanding of purpose, audience and stylistic choices (academic, casual, persuasive or argumentative). Analyze diverse media to demonstrate understanding of purpose, tone and intended effect on audience.
