This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery English 10 course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers English 10 concepts for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course; students may take up to 20 weeks to complete the course.
This course will concentrate on three areas of study: literature, language, and writing. Our study of literature will include short stories, poetry, and the novel, The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane. Students will increase their language skills with vocabulary lists and quizzes and by polishing up on grammar skills. These skills will go hand in hand with the writing lessons, as students work on improving written communication.
Please note that this course is an abbreviated course. Therefore, the course does not cover a full year’s curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a year-long course. Credit recovery courses require approximately 40 total hours of work for a 0.5 credit course and 80 total hours for a 1-credit Credit Recovery course.. In addition, if the student is taking this course for credit recovery or initial credit, it is strongly advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the school. You may also want to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
