A
Academic Year Language Arts
This course focuses on close-reading and analysis paired with academic writing. Students learn rhetorical (修辞的)analysis: how to recognize the “tools” an author uses to create certain effects in their writing. Students learn and apply these skills in the first trimester (Weeks l-12) by studying several short stories from The Best American Short Stories of the Century, coupled with a study of the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor. In the second trimester (Weeks 13-24), students continue improving their rhetorical analysis skills by examining several challenging texts. In the final trimester (Weeks 25-36), students will use what they've been developing to write their own essays.
What is encouraged in class?
·Close-reading and discussion of very challenging literary texts
·Targeted study of professional, published writing and in-class practice of academic writing skills
·Feedback(反馈)on writing, including one-on-one conferencing with the teacher and group
workshops
Homework
Throughout the year, students draft and revise several long-term writing projects. Students will work on these projects mostly in class, but they'll also be expected to complete some writing at home. At the end of the year, students will choose one of these projects to revise and polish. Besides, students will also complete short reading tasks at home that will be discussed in class.
Teachers' feedback
Since students will complete most of their writing in class, there will be many chances for the teacher to provide face-to-face feedback immediately while students are working. At the end of each multi-week project, students will hand in their final drafts and receive detailed, formal written feedback from their teacher.
Exams
Students have to take an in-class exam at the end of each trimester. Exams will focus on the analysis and writing skills students are learning in class.
