Working on the premise that the homogeneous grouping of students based on student performance, testing, and recommendations can enable students to develop to their fullest potential, this English curriculum guide for grades seven through twelve is arranged to cover high and/or average achieving students and low achieving students. The guide is divided into three sections: (1) "Literature," which lists suggested books for a wide range of topics, (2) "Language," which includes both the study of grammar and usage; and (3) "Composition," which proceeds from the study of shorter units of composition to more extended and complex ones. Other sections include an introduction, a list of committee members who helped compile the guide, the philosophy of the guide, and a discussion of composition evaluation. (HOD)
