Blog 3: Do a brainstorm of your course overview (unit plan portfolio part 3).
Students will read a variety of texts and write in a variety of styles. Focus is on the student finding his unique reading, as opposed to simply identifying plot and characters, though this will be key as well. The course will move from very personal readings and writings (the apex of which is the student autobiography) eventually to an introduction to more academic discourse, the argumentative essay and the research paper. While a chief goal is to prepare students for success in college and beyond, we present the student with many opportunities to read for pleasure and to learn to write freely in low-stakes situations, so as to build confidence.
