Our Focus...
In 9th Grade World Literature, we will be studying and responding to historically, culturally, and socially significant works of fiction, non-fiction, drama, Shakespearean drama, mythology, and poetry. Our primary focus will be on the foundations of literature and literary elements. Writing exercises will include expository (analysis and comparison/contrast), description, and technical writing. In addition, we will respond to literature through speaking and listening activities. We will study literary terms, vocabulary, and conventions of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
