Sophomore Honors English 273 builds on skills and content mastery attained in English 173. Students will continue to work collaboratively in interpreting literary works. Critical thinking challenges will require students to identify and question assumptions and to examine alternative perspectives as they are raised in works of literature and in response to works of literature. Students will both write to learn and to show learning. In addition to daily discussion for understanding, students will practice formal presentation and speech skills. Because a genuine honors experience depends upon the interaction of highly motivated and demonstrably able students, enrollment in this course requires evidence of independence, enthusiasm, and follow-through in having met the challenges of English 173.
PREREQUISITE: English 173 or equivalent with teacher recommendation and Instructional Supervisor approval
