The secondary English curriculum outlined in this guide consists of a required course during the freshman year followed by three years in the elective program, during which each student is expected to complete a one semester course in each of the three basic areas of language, literature, and writing plus three more courses from any one area. This guide includes a description of the curriculum; sections on the world of work (focusing on vocational, technical communications), writing, language, literature, and lab courses; and an appendix which contains various materials related to the English curriculum.
