English & Language Arts
The English Language Arts Department offers a wide selection of courses that all focus on building literacy skills. Literacy extends beyond the ability to read and write. While developing more sophisticated reading and writing skills, literacy also encompasses authentic communication through speaking and listening.
Because the importance of communicating one’s thoughts clearly, logically, and concisely is the foundation for academic and lifelong success, both core and elective English courses are designed to enhance these respective skills.
The department’s standards-based curriculum is aligned to the MA Common Core State Standards and promotes understanding of classic, contemporary/multicultural literature, and nonfiction.
