In this course,
students expand on writing skills developed in eleventh grade. Students write
in a variety of formats with a focus on various genres of writing in college
courses. Students apply theories of
literary criticism in a written literary analysis essay. Students research and
develop a multimedia presentation based on a theme, issue, or genre. Students will understand how satire is used
to respond to current issues. Additional
units may include analyzing rhetorical devices in non-fiction and media,
analyzing and writing memoir, and analyzing literary devices through close
reading.
