- Description
-
The 9th grade Humanities course at Metro Arts aims to open students to the world of literature and to analyze how literature is constructed across various genres and types of writing. Throughout the year, students will study various texts, such as coming of age, sci-fi, horror, historical fiction, stream of consciousness, poetry, and drama to come to their own conclusions about what writing means to them and what types of literature speak to their own growth as a student. The year begins with the novel and moves by quarter to deconstruct writing down to its smallest forms in order to show the student that all types of writing are impactful, whether a long narrative or a short poem. In particular, students will demonstrate an understanding of language terms (capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling) in the writing they will complete for this class. Students will write in a variety of modes, such as descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive for different purposes and audiences.
