Vocabulary
Three vocabulary words will be given each day. Learn the definition, spelling, and part of speech of all words and be able to use them correctly in a sentence. Tests are given every Thursday, and words are cumulative.
Quotations
Two quotations will be given each week. Learn the quotation, its author, and its source. We will discuss the quotations and use some of them as writing prompts. A quotation test will be given every other Friday. These quotations are cumulative throughout the course.
Grammar
Grammar will be studied throughout your essays. We will also work with grammar specific for the ACT and SAT, since this is the year you will take the PSAT to qualify as a National Merit Semi-Finalist. Different methods will be used to help you facilitate your command of the mechanics of the language.
Journals
Your daily journal this year will be a place to track your life and your growth during this fall semester. Part of your final will be using the journal to write an esay about what you have learned about your self and your growth.
