English 1X--Online Program

 


 

Unit 1:  The Essay

Introduction


The purpose of this unit is not only to reinforce the essay writing skills taught in your English 1 class, but also to teach you the more advanced essay skills that you will need if you choose to continue in the English Honors program at Bear River High School.  We expect you to use these skills in all four of the English 1X online units and also to use them in your English 1 class to practice them as much as possible.

To successfully complete this unit and earn an "X" on your transcript, you must complete all nine of the given assignments by each of their deadlines.  Missing any assignment will disqualify you from the program. In addition, your total grade on all nine units must be 80% or better to pass. This program will have no effect on your English 1 grade.
