ELA11, CSS, Cizeron

The English Language Arts curriculum, while always centered around developing strong communication, writing, and critical thinking skills, provides opportunity for learners to select a focus for their study.  In ELA 11 you'll select one of five courses that will narrow your area of focus as you explore English Language Arts: 

• • • Composition
    • Creative Writing
    • Literary Studies
    • New Media
    • Spoken Language 

This exciting approach will give you the freedom to explore areas of interest and passion, while covering all the same core competencies.   So, read through the course descriptions that follow and choose a focus for study that engages you.

Once you have chosen a course (Composition, Creative Writing, Literary Studies, New Media or Spoken Language)  you will begin the course.  All students will complete the same base assignments, however, at the end of each unit,  students will complete different final projects.  You must ensure you ALWAYS select the final project that corresponds to your chosen course.  You are not able to switch between courses after your initial course.   This will ensure that you remain on the path that was selected at the outset of the course.  

To help you make an informed decision about which course to choose, the following page provides summaries for each of the five options.
