English Language Arts 11B

Course Description: In this course we will study and engage with American literature and nonfiction texts through diverse American authors and voices. This class aligns with 11th grade language arts common core standards, and will focus on building college-level reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking skills. We will study texts and works that span American history in a variety of genres, and show our learning through journals, essays, discussions, and presentations. We will read and analyze challenging, provocative, and sometimes controversial material that is intended to make you consider multiple perspectives and develop your personal beliefs and identity. You will be expected to come to class prepared and ready to challenge yourself and others with interesting discussion points. We will consider the historical context of the texts we study, and will make comparisons among a variety of American literary voices to gain a detailed and multi-faceted understanding of American society and its culture, values and norms.

Essential Questions
How do American values affect our behaviors?
How do we use logic and persuasion to influence others?
How do American voices make an impact on the world around us?
What responsibility do we have as individuals and Americans to the people around us?

Please come to class with a charged Chromebook every day.
