English - Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool



English - Scope and Sequence Level 8

Easy Peasy All In One Homeschool

Course Description: This high-school level course requires students to analyze a wide variety of literature. Students will be reading an autobiography, science fiction and allegorical novels, poetry including epic poetry, short stories and plays. They will review grammar, vocabulary and spelling as well as the elements of a story. They will focus on poetic and literary devices such as metaphor and irony. Students will be required to present orally as well as to produce numerous written works. Writing assignments include narratives, articles, essays, research, ads, letters, poetry and a final project of writing a play. A final exam is given at the end of the course.

(The base of this course is “9th Grade Literature and Composition” offered by Georgia Virtual Learning which is aligned to Common Core Standards, however, your children won’t just be using the whole course. I edited the curriculum for content. I also added more reading and writing assignments to it, as well as vocabulary and spelling.)
