The ninth grade course in Honors English serves as an introduction to Western literature. Students begin their study with Greek mythology and Greek drama. Throughout the course of the year, the Honors students will examine and analyze a number of classical texts, as well as study the genres of drama, poetry, the short story, and the novel. The course also includes the study of grammar, vocabulary, and writing. The writing curriculum focuses on organization and clarity and begins at the paragraph level. This year's curriculum for the English Honors course includes but is not limited to the following texts: Mythology:Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, The Odyssey, Medea, Romeo and Juliet, Things Fall Apart, and Great Expectations. Also, Honors English students are invited to participate in the Franciscan Scholars Program and should visit that page for information on this year's field trips.
