English 2201
Language is the central means through which students formulate thoughts and communicate their ideas with others. The English language arts curriculum identifies the processes of thinking that support students’ ability to use language to make meaning of texts, whether they are producing texts of their own or interacting with texts created by others.
Experiences with texts are designed to enhance students’:
• ability to be creative
• capacity to respond personally and critically
• celebration of diversity
• understanding of metacognition and critical thinking
• use of knowledge and language strategies
The English language arts curriculum supports literacy development through both integrated experiences and the teaching of discrete skills in speaking and listening, reading and viewing, and writing and representing. The curriculum at all levels supports multiple literacies which enable students to interact with and create a variety of digital, live, and paper texts. As students use, interact with, and create texts, they increase their knowledge, experience, and control of language. The curriculum also fosters students’ understanding of self and others as well as their ability to be clear and precise in their communication.
