Reading Level 2 (RL 2) for grades 9-10 is designed to improve a student’s ability to read thoughtfully, analyze important passages and quotes, and speak confidently and intelligently about what he/she has read. RL 2 combines reading grade level appropriate fiction with Socratic discussions. Students will conduct an in-depth analysis of the works via Study Guide questions and exercises. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with a variety of genres and periods, close reading techniques, and literary terms.
Note: Students may repeat this class for continued enrichment because new texts are introduced each semester.
Prerequisites: Advanced Critical Reading or the equivalent is recommended.
