Sophomore English combines studies in literature, writing, and grammar by building on students’ prior knowledge of these areas. The curriculum also incorporates the utilization and strengthening of other necessary academic skills such as vocabulary building, critical thinking, communication, research, and analysis. The overall goal of this course is for the students to grow as writers, to question norms, to appreciate literature, to analyze societal decisions (as they pertain to literature), to think creatively, and to be enthusiastic about the written word.
