English 10 Honors

English

Grade 10

As in the ninth grade, much of the content of English 10 Honors overlaps with the regular curriculum, and the expectations for a student's beginning ability and dedication to the discipline-and thus the expectations for a student's eventual achievement-are again higher. Students entering honors English are expected to be confident and largely independent readers, and they should show considerable facility in expressing themselves in English prose. By this point in their careers, students should demonstrate mastery of the basics of English grammar and usage, but English 10 Honors will provide them with consistent opportunity to sharpen and review their knowledge of the language. In addition to the core texts covered in English 10 (Aeneid, Twelfth Night), the honors students will also journey through Dante's Inferno and will read a substantial amount of lyric poetry.
