English/Language Arts III (10th grade) courses usually offer a balanced focus on composition and literature. Students learn about the alternate aims and audiences of written compositions by writing persuasive, critical, and creative multi-paragraph essays and compositions. Through the study of various genres of literature, students can improve their reading rate and comprehension and develop the skills to determine the author's intent and theme and to recognize the techniques used by the author to deliver his or her message. These courses enable students to progress from an advanced level of understanding of English vocabulary and complex grammatical structures to a more comprehensive grasp of various formal and informal styles of using Academic English, similar to their native speaking peers, in the context of English Language Arts. Per MSDE guidelines, only two ESOL courses can be used for English credit. This is one of the courses that may be offered for English credit.
