The purpose of Horizons Advanced English I is to train students to notice the critical features of a text so they may “unlock” the nuances of the author’s craft in order to better understand the message, intent, and impact of a text. These nuances will often include analysis of how the author’s use of word choice (both figurative language and literal meanings) can affect a reader.As students understand how authors use their craft both stylistically and for precision, they can begin to focus on their own writer’s craft by focusing first on academic sentence structure and then building upon these skills to develop well-organized paragraphs and, with academic growth, responses of greater length or complexity.Students and mentors may notice that the skills of analysis and response are emphasized during ELA coursework but easily transferable to many disciplines and areas of study. Advanced English encourages reading comprehension, analytical response, academic research, study of rhetorical techniques, and discussions throughout the curriculum.
