MIDDLE SCHOOL AI Elem/Mid EpicEd Middle School AI introduces students to the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on society. Divided into four units, students will explore various aspects of AI, from basics to advanced topics. ENGLISH I 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English I English I Semester A introduces 9th-grade students to the foundational reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills essential for high school success. Students develop active reading and listening strategies, practice summarizing and paraphrasing, and build confidence in collaborative discussions and presentations. A focused study of grammar, punctuation, and sentence mechanics, including modifiers, voice, parallel structure, and phrase types, equips students to write with clarity and precision. Students then expand their vocabulary through the study of context clues, connotation, word parts, and precise language use. The semester moves into the characteristics of fiction, where students analyze literary elements, figurative language, sound devices, and authors' cultural and historical perspectives. The course culminates in an extended narrative writing project and an independent reading unit, where students apply their analytical skills to a self-selected text and produce a critical book review. ACT-aligned practice is woven throughout to support college and career readiness. English I Semester B shifts students toward argument, research, and classic literature. Students explore the characteristics of nonfiction and the elements of rhetoric, learning to analyze text structures, evaluate evidence, identify logical fallacies, and detect author's bias. Through study of the rhetorical triangle and appeals, students craft a polished op-ed featuring a clear thesis, integrated evidence, counterclaims, and intentional style and tone. Students then complete a research unit focused on developing research questions, evaluating source credibility, citing sources, and synthesizing information into an original project. The second half of the semester immerses students in classic literature, beginning with Greek mythology and Homer's The Odyssey, where students examine the hero's journey and produce multimodal projects that blend narrative, argumentative, and informative writing. Students then study the elements of drama through Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, decoding Shakespearean language, analyzing iambic pentameter, and creating a performance critique. The semester concludes with a capstone writing portfolio showcasing students' growth across genres and purposes, alongside continued ACT preparation. ENGLISH II 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English II English II Semester A guides 10th-grade students through the study of language, literary analysis, and argument writing. Students begin by sharpening their command of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure, learning to use context clues, word parts, connotation, and precise diction to communicate with clarity and intention. From there, students explore the structure of storytelling, analyzing characterization, setting, plot, conflict, point of view, tone, mood, and literary devices through a rich collection of short stories. The semester centers on a guided study of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, where students examine theme, author's perspective, and the social commentary embedded in dystopian fiction. The course concludes with an in-depth argument unit, in which students analyze rhetorical appeals, evaluate evidence, identify logical fallacies and bias, and write an original argumentative essay. ACT-aligned reading and English practice is woven throughout the semester to support college and career readiness. English II Semester B builds on Semester A by shifting students toward personal narrative, research, career readiness, and dramatic literature. Students begin by exploring the memoir genre, analyzing historical, cultural, and global perspectives in works by authors such as Amy Tan and George Takei before crafting an original memoir of their own. The course then moves into a career-focused research unit, where students develop research questions, evaluate sources, synthesize information, and produce a career research paper using MLA citation. Students next apply these skills to real-world writing tasks, drafting professional resumes and cover letters and practicing interview techniques rooted in effective speaking, listening, and collaboration. The semester continues with a study of drama through George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, examining dialect, characterization, and identity alongside paired poetry and nonfiction texts. The course concludes with an independent reading and writing unit that allows students to apply their analytical and compositional skills to a self-selected text. ACT preparation continues throughout the semester. ENGLISH III 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English III English III Semester A guides 11th-grade students through the foundational skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking that anchor an advanced study of American literature. Students begin by developing strong listening and speaking skills, learning to evaluate speakers' messages, collaborate effectively in diverse groups, and deliver impactful presentations. From there, students explore the reading process through close engagement with American literary works, contemporary essays, and influential speeches that span the historical foundations of American thought to modern perspectives. The semester continues with a focused writing process unit, where students develop the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing skills needed to produce polished essays. Students then move into critical reading, sharpening their ability to analyze themes, motifs, character development, and rhetorical strategies in complex texts.
