I: Language Skills
ENG
I is part of a continuous high school English curricula designed to prepare
students for post-high school studies and careers which require strong
reading and writing skills. The first of a four-level series is built
on techniques “borrowed” from four cultures: USA, Eskimo, Greek
and Hebrew. Paradigm high school English is available in a seamless program
that begins with English I and continues through English IV. Every grade
level (I through IV) focuses on interpretation and development of writing
styles. English I: Language Skills builds on skills learned in English
Grammar Skills (EGS, eighth grade*) by reviewing the parts of speech and
their application. Students read and evaluate literature carefully selected
to expose students to noble ideals and writing techniques that equip students
to craft strong sentences and paragraphs, while becoming effective wordsmiths
skilled in producing poems, letters, essays, narratives,
editorials, articles, speeches, allegories, and research papers. Students
gain experience writing pieces that inform, entertain, persuade and challenge.
Students learn to address literary concepts such as cause and effect,
logic, premises, comparison, and contrasts.
