Suggested Syllabus for One Year English/Language Arts 9
We are big fans of teaching teens to use a syllabus. This helps them stay organized, learn time management and develop independent learning skills. With that in mind, we regularly add suggested syllabi to 7Sisters e-store (and they are always free). These syllabi are downloadable and adaptable to your family’s particular needs.
Remember, there’s not ONE right way to homeschool high school and there’s not ONE right way to create or use a syllabus. If you would like to create your own and want guidelines, check out this post and resource on creating and using a syllabus.
Many homeschooling high schoolers love 7Sisters One Year English/Language Arts (suggested for grade 9) and parents have been asking us for a syllabus to help guide their teens through the curriculum. So, our beloved Stacey Lane Clendaniel created a practical syllabus that covers all the pieces of the curriculum.
As you remember, English/Language Arts is a huge credit each year, covering:
7Sisters ELA bundle contains teen-vetted study guides for the full year. As always, 7Sisters study guides (literature, writing and public speaking) are no-busywork, don’t-kill-the-book-or-topic and adjustable to various levels of rigor. Download the ELA bundle for your teens and give them an enjoyable ELA learning experience.
Okay, here’s the suggested syllabus. You can adapt it to your needs and goals.
Download and adapt the syllabus from the store. (BTW- for a suggested syllabus for 10th grade Another Year of English/Language Arts, click here.)
Here’s what it will look like:
Course Title: One Year of High School English/Language Arts
Length: 32 weeks
Curriculum: One Year of High School English/Language Arts by 7SistersHomeschool.com
Description: A full-year, adaptable English credit. Books and movies from various literary genres were selected for learning literary analysis. Students will complete four genres of writing assignments:research paper, essays, short story and poetry. Vocabulary and grammar are included in literature and writing guides and with resources suggested, if needed. Public speaking is included, using literature and poetry as the subject matter.
Goals: Students will complete literature, cinema, writing and speaking guides to increase competence in literature analysis skills, reasoning and inferential skills, to learn the APA format of research paper writing, to gain confidence with writing essays, short stories and poetry as well as introductory skills in public speaking.
Grading Scale: Create your own grading scale or follow the very detailed example provided in the how to use guide.
Schedule: The curriculum is designed to cover all the components of the English/Language Arts credit. Most of the Literature and Cinema guides have assignments for all 5 days of the week. Most of the writing guides have assignments for 4 days of the week. Occasionally Friday is scheduled for a catch-up day. Public Speaking is scheduled for one week in the first semester and one week in the second semester.
Note: Vocabulary from the literature and cinema guides can be done all at once at the beginning, as you read along or all at the end of the book. It is mentioned daily as a reminder. Grammar is mentioned as an optional depending on what you have decided to use.
