Introduction to 11th Grade
In grade 11, students synthesize the comments and claims of others, respond thoughtfully when encountering diverse perspectives, and skillfully present findings both orally and in writing. They summarize and paraphrase inclusive, diverse, and increasingly complex literary and informational texts. They write narrative essays with clear descriptions and sensory details, informative essays with evidence and a formal style, and argumentative essays with a defensible thesis and credible sources. Grade 11 students expand and apply their spoken and reading vocabularies to speak, read, and write effectively. Their knowledge of syntax allows them to analyze and evaluate a variety of texts as well as to write with increasing sophistication, using various types of phrases and clauses. They create viable research questions to gather specific information from primary and secondary sources, which they can synthesize into short and long formats. Students analyze and evaluate the techniques of multimodal content and also create their own to enhance their findings, reasoning, and evidence. They know how to find books, authors, and genres to read independently and how to select mode, purpose, and audience for a piece of independent writing.
