unit.
English IV traditionally is a mix of British Literature and advanced writing
geared toward the Research Paper.
We will learn the Elements of Literature and use them to
discuss and write about literature.
We will also explore creative writing: poetry, fiction and drama.
We will learn about and write in "chunks" a
standard ten-page research paper. We will use the MLA (Modern Language
Association) style, one of the most popular and useful to know whether you plan
to go on to college or the workplace. The topic will be your choice, approved by
Mr. Janes, and supported by a variety of research sources. Ample time will be
given to the concepts of paraphrasing, quoting, summarizing, citing resources
correctly and avoiding plagiarism; you will be held responsible for submitting
only original work.
Your grade will be earned equally from your performance on classic
assessments such as quizzes and tests as well as from high-interest
multimedia projects, homework and various papers.
