While this is technically an 8th grade class, we will be earning high school credit for 9th Grade Literature and Composition! 9th Grade Literature is an in depth, advanced study of various forms of literature with a focus on both literary and longer informational texts. As an advanced course, the material studied will be more complex and advanced and require more time and rigorous study. Throughout the year, we will examine various categories of literature and the literary elements they employ. Throughout this year-long class, students will have opportunities to develop and expand their knowledge of literature, informational texts, writing, and language and demonstrate their mastery of new learning through performance tasks and assessments. Students in this class will take the 9th Grade Literature and Composition EOCT in the spring.
