This course challenges students to develop analytical reading and writing skills through the study of literary texts. We will examine prose and poetry from different cultures and a variety of historical eras. We’ll use these texts as the basis for thoughtful class discussions and written pieces. Ultimately, this course will provide foundational skills for successful completion of the IB English component of the Diploma Programme. Engaged students will emerge from this course prepared to succeed in AP English Language and Composition as sophomores.  \nThrough the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted, IB students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. In this course, students will learn:  \n●  \nETLecPaPiKJO  \nPlease bring completed assignments and all ofthe necessary materials to every class meeting. You’ll also want to be mentally prepared; this means you’re demonstrating knowledge of the text, contributing to class activities, actively listening to others, and taking intellectual risks.  \nALLNKach  \nTeaching in this course is driven by critical concepts and fueled by inquiry. The study of literature is rooted in both local and global contexts, and classroom activity is focused on effective teamwork and collaboration. Instruction is informed by diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment while also allowing for adaptations to meet the needs of all learners.  \nAbOeJceO  \nIn the case of a student’s absence, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain any and all materials and information delivered in class during the period of the absence; all class materials will be available on the course’s Canvas page and the class website ([bentonenglish.com](bentonenglish.com)). Due to the nature of the block schedule, please do not wait until the next day class meets to make contact. In the case of a missed test or in-class writing, I expect you to make up the assignment the day you return. You must take the initiative to arrange a make-up test or assignment.  \nIf the work is not made up when scheduled or is not rescheduled after 3Á hours, a zero will be given for the missed assignment. It should be noted that multiple absences in a class can remove a student’s ability to exempt any/all semester exams.  \nTeacher: Roddy Benton  \nLaPe WKNG  \nAssignments that are turned in one school day late will always receive a À0Î-off penalty. Work that is turned in over one school day late will receive a 0Î . The exceptions to this rule are some long-term assignments for which 1À–¿0Î (with the percentage steadily increasing throughout the year) will be deducted for each late day. In the case of extenuating circumstances (illness, personal problems, etc.), please contact me so we can determine the appropriate course of action.  \nAcadeIic HKJeOPU  \nStudents are expected to complete all assignments without the assistance of others unless I explicitly allow written permission for collaboration on a specific assignment. Sharing work, using another’s work for reference,“just trying to help”, or using any other human’s ideas without specifically citing the source will result in a grade of 0Î on the assignment and a referral to administration for cheating. Students should report to tutoring instead of resorting to academic immorality. Per the International Baccalaureate English Department policy, each teacher reserves the right to challenge the authenticity of any student-generated writing. Inconsistencies in style and voice will require investigation to determine plagiarism.  \nSQbIiPPiJgAOOigJIeJPO  \nAll handwritten work must be written in black or blue ink (not in pencil); please double-space your writing and use the front side of the page only. Instructions will be given in class how to scan handwritten work into a PDF for submission.  \nTyped work should b","cbCaiuotJbmNSe4p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuotJbmNSe4p","pdf",455500,"English","# Course Overview\n## Learning Goals and Instructional Approach\n## Student Expectations and Attendance\n## Assignment and Grading Policies\n## Academic Integrity Rules\n## Submission and Formatting Requirements\n## Classroom Supply and Technology Suggestions","[{\"question\":\"What skills does Pre-IB English 2 focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The course focuses on analytical reading and writing skills using prose and poetry from different cultures and historical eras.
