About Foundations:
Foundations of English II is a targeted course for students who need focused reading and writing skill development to be successful in English II. Students will strengthen foundational reading comprehension skills through exposure to texts that vary in genre and complexity. Students will employ textual analysis strategies to form an analytical point of view in order to begin composing various modes of writing (argumentative, critical, and informative) that are clear, cohesive, and mechanically sound. About the EOC:
The English II End of Course (EOC) is an academic assessment conducted by the State Board of Education used to sample a student’s knowledge of subject-related concepts and to provide a global estimate of the student’s mastery of the material. The English II EOC consists of 6-7 reading passages ranging in length from 1-4 pages. Approximately 50% of the passages will be nonfiction, informational texts; the other 50% will comprise of literary passages, including at least one poem. The test consists of roughly 50-60 multiple choice questions, in addition to 3-4 short answer written response questions. We will be practicing and preparing for the assessment throughout the entire semester. |
About English II:
Students in English II will read, discuss and write about both classical and contemporary World Literature. Students will identify cultural significance through literary global perspectives. Influential U.S. documents, non-literary texts and a Shakespearean play will also be included. Students will continue to explore language for argumentative, informative, narrative, critical, and literary purposes. MYP/IB level students will explore themes to a deeper level and should expect to provide more complex written and oral support for their textual analysis.
