English 9 B – H
English 9 is an overview of quality literature across the major genres (short story, novel, poetry, drama, epic poetry, and literary nonfiction). Students begin to read and respond to literary criticism. In formal seminar discussions, students further investigate philosophical and literary questions that arise in the texts. In addition to discussing and writing about works, students study poems and excerpts of speeches and learn to deliver them with expression. Students will have an understanding of the research process. By the end of ninth grade, students are prepared for focused literary study.
