Purpose - High School English Three builds on previously learned skills from HSE1, American Lit, and HSE2. It includes the basics of logic and reasoning, the building of reading comprehension strategies, written and oral communication, speech practice, research, and advanced writing skills in order to prepare students for college coursework in any discipline, entrepreneurship, or the workplace.

Process - High School English Three further develops student abilities in analysis, argumentation, rhetoric, speech and thesis writing. Students will be introduced to new forms of argumentation, communication, critical thinking skills, evaluation, evidence, oral and written persuasion, and research in order to succeed in the workplace or in university studies. Students will complete an end of the year project that demonstrates mastery of content learned throughout the year. The class also incorporates Modern Language Association (MLA) formatting and citation.

Parental Responsibilities: Parents are responsible for helping students establish a routine that includes writing practice as well as time to work on required homework and class preparation. Parents are responsible for grading at home materials while teachers will grade all presentations, writing compositions, speeches and in class exams. It is highly recommended that parents review student writing and offer feedback before final drafts are turned in.
