The curriculum begins by applying what was learned from the Christensen Rhetoric Program and from the analysis of short stories written by some of the best writers from America and England to write a story story. After that students will study a variety of literary forms through either thematic units such as Ares and the Muses or units focused on works like The Scarlet Letter and Hamlet. In the process, students will work on improving the writing skills (essays and memoirs, etc.), their reading and speaking skills, and their presentational (PowerPoint) skills. All of the curriculum is aligned with the New York State ELA standards in order to prepare students for success on the ELA Regents Exam.
