Language Arts will cover high school level grammar, while also reviewing writing concepts throughout the year to keep students current in their writing proficiency. It is intended for those students who have completed at least one year of Introduction to Writing (expository or persuasive) and are proficient in junior high grammar.
The step-by-step approach will prepare students for the rigor of later high school and even college work, while the comprehensive scope ensures mastery. Approaching grammar with the idea that students learn it and then move on, rather than continually re-learning the same concepts over and over, the “spiral” method will help students master grammar once and for all. This is intended to be the last grammar class they need.

Curriculum: None
Speech is not a science, it’s an art to be mastered. Overcoming stage fright is the first step to success in life. In Speech class, we face our fears head on with a series of speech presentations and skills development exercises. We will craft introductory and demonstration speeches, learn using body language and vocal variety to build an effective presentation, and develop impromptu speaking skills to get everyone started on the road to leadership in their own lives. Advanced speech topics will cover storytelling and persuasive speeches. Presentation techniques such as eye contact and rhetorical theory will be taught. Students must have access to Youtube videos to watch historical and contemporary speeches. Students will give speeches in front of their class peers. The benefits from learning to speak publicly will help anyone achieve their goals and dreams, regardless of their careers. By the end of this class, your student will be able to take the stage with confidence to present to a crowd!
