NINTH GRADE ENGLISH
OPPORTUNITIES
Students must choose either
English I or Honors English I to
satisfy ninth grade English
requirements.
English I Course Description
In this ninth grade college-preparatory course,
students interact with the Common Core
Standards. The analysis of texts from a broad
range of cultures and time periods allows for
argument and explanatory writing opportunities.
In addition, students participate in collaborative
discussions and present research. Writing
conventions, vocabulary, and syntax are
emphasized. Summer reading is required.
Honors English I Course
Descriptions
Honors English I covers the same
Common Core curriculum as English I.
Honors students are expected to
progress at a more rapid rate;
therefore, additional units of study,
activities, and assignments are
incorporated. An overview of English
Language Arts Advanced Placement (AP)
opportunities in later grades is highlighted.
Summer reading is required.
Honors Considerations
Prior to enrolling in an Honors course, please consider whether or
not the student meets the following criteria:
 A sincere interest in language arts- a desire to read and write at
an analytical level
 Parental support including the approval of reading more mature
texts
 An acceptance of an increased but not unmanageable workload
 A grade point average of “B” or better in Language Arts
If your child is unsure as to which English course is the best choiceplease have your child speak with the current language arts teacher
for more information. Students who demonstrate high achievement
in a college-preparatory level class are encouraged to enroll in an
Honors course at the start of the next school year.
