English 11B – FX

Flex Course Overview:
English 11B is a course designed with the flexibility to help students complete their coursework at their own pace and schedule. Students may bypass portions of unit content and assignments by showing mastery of materials and objectives if they choose the option to challenge a unit by taking the challenge test. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. This course is divided into eight units with coursework (including computer and teacher-graded assignments) and a unit exam. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. There is no high-stakes final exam; just shorter incremental exams in each unit, two of which must be scheduled with a proctor.

Course Description: 
This course covers key themes such as courage and heroism, research and discovery, and the cost of success. Throughout each unit, students will examine the meaning of these themes and apply their understanding through a variety of written and creative projects. For example, students will write comparative analyses, plan a dystopian story, prepare and deliver a speech, and analyze reading fluency—among other engaging activities. View full syllabus
