English 3 focuses on critical interpretation and analysis, emphasizes academic/expository writing, and investigates career aptitudes and options.

Literature study emphasizes analysis of complex elements, such as symbolism, style, tone, structure, and theme. Students are encouraged to examine, discuss, research, and write about the relevance of selected literary works to past and present American society. Life long reading is encouraged through self-selected literary projects.

Writing instruction focuses on the effective use of the essay form as applicable to tests and other types of critical response to literature. The use and integration of literary criticism will be introduced. Writing experiences include teacher- and self-directed journal entries, essay test questions, persuasive arguments, critical/thematic essays, and a researched paper.
