Course Description

This year-long course equips students to read and analyze a variety of texts. Students engage with age-appropriate fictional texts, narrative nonfiction, biographies, and poetry. These and other texts frame the students’ vocabulary comprehension through contextual application. Students write creatively, descriptively, and persuasively using correct grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraphing. Students study all steps of the development of a research paper and then utilize the learned skills to produce a well-structured research paper. Students are guided with biblical truths to develop the skills necessary to honor God through excellence in the written and spoken word.
