Honors Language Arts 3

Choose the right level

This course is recommended for students entering Grade 3. We recommend students enroll in Language Arts courses at grade level.

Curriculum

Each 18-week term will cover 2 units, with each unit featuring a long-term project that integrates a variety of reading, writing, critical thinking, and grammar skills.

Honors LA 3A

• Narratives: Students read Greek myths and create their own mythological stories.
• Persuasive Nonfiction: Students learn about classical philosophy while writing their own testimony to deliver at the trial of Socrates.

Honors LA 3B

• Drama: Students are introduced to Greek theater, which becomes a platform for writing and staging their own plays.
• Epics: Students embark on Homer's Odyssey, reading adaptations of the original stories while developing sentence-building, research, and narrative writing skills.

Students must purchase the required books before the start of the course.

Format

Our instructors hold classes virtually, in a small-sized (10-16 students) videoconferencing classroom.

Homework and projects

Students should expect to spend about 60-90 minutes on homework every week. Homework will include practicing skills learned in class through short answer questions, long-term writing assignments connected to the unit project, and assigned reading in one of the four quarterly textbooks.
