This syllabus provides the organizational framework, philosophy, and goals that were developed for a senior high school English department. The major portion of the syllabus consists of 20 required and elective course outlines and a list of recommended audiovisual materials. Seventeen of the course outlines include a brief course description, a list of components that make up the course, the course objectives, and required text materials. Three of the courses (Critical Thinking and Writing/Writing the Research Paper, Fundamental English, and Literary Explorations) are discussed in greater detail with extensive examples of methods for developing each major course component. In addition to the usual required course offerings, electives cover such areas as grammar review and vocabulary development, creative writing, paperback literature, advanced placement English, and English and careers.
