In this course, students explore the theme of heroes in literature and apply the concept of a hero's journey to their own life. Students apply literacy skills and strategies, complete application and writing assignments, and practice grammar and usage skills. This is the first course in a two-part Tenth-Grade English series. This course also encompasses the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

This course uses our model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
