Throughout the Semester, projects will be assigned to assess the students' understanding of a literary text. Students will also be immersed in the power of persuasion and the necessity of holding onto their readers' or viewers' attention in an effort to get them to adopt their stance (pro or con) regarding an issue. Finally, there will be a cumulative project that is representative of their entire Semester in English 11 and Honors English 12; this will be based upon Project Based Learning (PBL).
