English 10

English

Grade 10

English 10 continues to guide students into becoming skilled writers and readers, and it also contributes to moral formation by contemplating the virtue of wisdom through our literary study. The course consolidates the knowledge of grammar and usage introduced in English 9, and students will use this knowledge of mechanics to produce more substantial, multi-paragraph expository essays than they have in earlier grades. English 10 complements Humanities 10's study of Roman history by reading Virgil's Aeneid, and the sophomores also continue the school's Shakespeare sequence by reading Twelfth Night, another of Shakespeare's great comedies. The course syllabus supplements these core texts by reading several other more contemporary novels, short stories, and poems.
