English 10: Identity, Society, and the Stories We Tell (Part 1)

This is a full year of 10th grade English built around one question: how much do people get shaped by their families, their communities, their history, and how much do they push back? Your child starts with short stories and works up to a whole novel, a Shakespeare play, real speeches and essays, and finally their own research paper. By the end they're picking a claim about a book or play, defending it in writing, and then defending it out loud when someone tries to poke holes in it. It's a lot of reading and a lot of writing, and it builds: nothing here is a standalone unit you do for two weeks and forget. This volume holds units 1 to 4: Reading Closely, Reading Suspiciously; The Narrator You Can't Trust; Sustaining a Judgment Across a Novel; Watching Instead of Reading: Shakespeare and Dramatic Irony.
