COURSE OVERVIEW
Language Arts 800 is a survey of literature that explores the work of various writers of different time periods through
an historical lens. Students should enter this course with a foundation in analyzing, through a close study, various genres
of literature and making connections with historical perspectives and the arts. In this course, students will build on these
skills by studying a range of classic and contemporary literature to convey themes of American History, Natural History,
World Civilization, and Air and Space. Students will also develop their writing skills while producing informative,
argumentative, and narrative compositions. Supported by a balance of fictional and informational texts, students will
learn and practice close reading, modeled reading, writing, speaking, and listening strategies.
Curriculum decisions for this course are guided by the Common Core State Standards. These standards were developed
to provide clear and consistent goals for student learning and to ensure that students have the skills they need to be
successful beyond high school. These standards define what students need to know and be able to do by the end of each
grade. In addition to defining grade-level skills, the ELA standards require that students be exposed to increasingly more
complex texts to which they apply those skills. In order for curriculum to align to these standards, it must be both
rigorous and relevant. It must also expose students to certain critical content. In English language arts, that content
includes high-quality contemporary works, the classics of American literature, and the timeless dramas of Shakespeare.
English 800 students will be enriched as they expand their skills and confidence in English language arts through a
comprehensive study that includes the following units:
Unit 1 - Skill Workshop: In this unit, students will review skills learned in previous courses, while demonstrating a grasp
of literary analysis at the 7th grade level. Students will also have the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of writing,
research, and content-area vocabulary.
Unit 2 – American History Collection: This unit focuses on the study of America’s early history from the heroic battle for
independence through the turbulent Civil War. The anchor piece for this unit is Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. In
this novel, students will encounter themes of family, sacrifice, and individuality as they journey with the March sisters in
this coming of age story. Students will also read a selection of poetry and nonfiction that will cause them to consider the
values of America’s first citizens and the will that drove them to fight for freedom.
Unit 3 – Display of Natural History: In this unit, students will encounter work from authors in Europe and America
through an exploration into what captures the imagination of a society. Anchoring this study is Jules Verne’s Journey to
the Center of the Earth. Written during a time period when much of Europe hungered for stories of new explorations
and adventure, Verne’s science fiction tale takes readers on a perilous journey into undiscovered territory. Students will
also be exposed to a collection that includes the short stories of French author, Guy de Maupassant, and American
writers, Edgar Allen Poe and Shirley Jackson.
Unit 4 – World Civilization: In this unit, students will explore the literature and culture of ancient civilizations in Egypt,
Greece, and Japan. During this unit, students will have an opportunity to synthesize information from various texts to
uncover universal themes within literature. Students will also examine the role of historical context in literary analysis.
In the short stories included in this unit, students will be encouraged to evaluate the link between the past and present
as they view the world around them through the eyes of ancient societies.
Unit 5 – Fine Art Gallery: The focus of this unit highlights the connection between the themes and experiences
expressed in the art and literature of a society. Anchoring this unit, is Vincent Van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist, by Jan
Greenburg. In this biography, students will encounter the struggle of a determined artist who was driven by a need to
communicate his passions on canvas. In addition to a study of various nonfiction texts, students will also encounter a
collection of poetry that will allow them to explore the conversation between literature and the visual arts.
Unit 6 – Air & Space Mezzanine: This unit will take students on a journey with the Wright Brothers as they work
tenaciously towards the goal of building a flying machine. In the autobiographical memoir, “The Early History of the
Airplane,” students will consider how these pioneers overcame failure and set-backs and eventually went on to make
history. Students will link themes from this text to other writings as they engage in a study of the innovations that have
changed the society that we live in. Throughout this collection of fiction and nonfiction works, students will explore
themes of destiny, determination, and vision.
