Success is determined by a student's ability to communicate well in all 
modes of communication:  reading, writing, and speaking.

1.  Literature/Reading
    --Reading is a humanities-driven approach emphasizing literature as a   
    reflection of culture.
    --Students should be able to analyze any piece of literature according 
    to the following:  
    (a) Point of view
    (b) Character analysis
    (c) Literary devices
    (d) Conflict
    (e) Theme
    --Students should be able to think beyond the basic plot facts in a
    given work, moving on to inference.
    --Students should be able to use context clues, synonyms, antonyms, and
    analogies to determine word meanings and differentiate between multiple
    meanings.
2.  Writing is primarily a thesis-driven approach with writer response to
    specific literature under study.
    --Students should be able to create well-developed, organized,  
    structurally sound paragraphs in an insightful and creative manner.   
    Emphasis is on following a specific "writing formula" for paragraphs and 
    essays; basic parts of speech and their varied usage; simple and 
    compound structures; sentence structure with regards to run-ons and  
    fragments; subject-verb agreement and consistency of tense.
    --Students should be able to respond to journal prompts and passages of
    literature.
    --Students should be able to write five-paragraph essays and major
    project components, using correct spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and
    style.
