In the fall semester, literature of the pre-Colonial and Colonial experience through the nineteenth century are studied. In the spring semester, the focus is on mastery of the three CC essays covered during first semester (narrative, informative and argumentative) and successful CCSS testing. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are important elements of student work.
