II is a comprehensive course covering poetry, short stories,
drama, essays, and novels written by world authors. Students
concentrate on vocabulary development through root study and
prepare for the Gateway Exam and other standardized tests.
Grammar units focus on usage, subject-verb agreement, and
correct punctuation. Students write compare/contrast papers,
fictional stories, assorted essays on TCAP prompts and present a
speech on a persuasive topic. A research paper incorporating
MLA documentation is required in all classes.
Both standard and honors levels are offered.
