This junior-year English course reinforces the skills learned in English I, English II, and previous Language Arts courses. Students will be able to identify text structure and make inferences about how the author’s lives and historical events impact literature. This course also includes the instruction and strategies necessary for writing argumentative essays, writing research papers, properly citing sources, preparing oral presentations, and proper use of reference materials. Additionally, students will demonstrate their ability to use euphemisms, oxymorons, and other literary elements.
