This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery English 12 course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers a full year of English 12 for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course, and may take up to 15 weeks to complete the course. This course is designed for students in grade 12.
This course will concentrate on three areas of study: literature, language, and writing. Our study of literature will concentrate on British Literature and will include short stories, poetry, nonfiction, and a self-selected novel. Students will increase their writing and language skills by working on improving vocabulary, grammar, and written communication. Writing assignments include: reflective writing, persuasive writing, and a comparison essay. All materials are online. There is a self-selected novel that students will find locally at their school or public library.
