Intro to High School English 1 - Co-op and Classrooms
Goals
This course is designed to bridge the frequently seen gap between Middle School and High School English. In only six weeks, students can review concepts taught in One Day Academy’s Middle School English 2 while learning concepts and skills that will prepare them for One Day Academy’s High School English 1.
This course is parent led and can be completed at the family’s preferred pace in the summer leading up to high school. Also, students who are new to ODA can be better prepared for the rigors of high school English after taking this course.
Three Prong Approach
During this course, students will cover three main aspects of English: Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary.
The material covered in the writing portion are consistent in preparing students for One Day Academy’s High School English 1 course and build off the materials taught in One Day Academy’s Middle School English 2.
The grammar portion of this course utilizes the first half of Jensen’s Punctuation where students will learn the five main sentence structures and how to punctuate them. Students will need to purchase Jensen’s Punctuation.
For vocabulary, students will review the prefixes and suffixes taught in Middle School English 1 and the roots taught in Middle School English 2.
