A Freshman or English One level course

This a 13-week semester-long full curriculum English Language Arts course that develops students’ reading, analysis, and writing skills while exploring the topics of “Crime” and “Justice.”

Course readings:
- And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
- Killers of the Flower Moon: Adapted for Young Readers by David Grann
- Mean Girls by Micol Ostow

- Meets 3 times a week
- 1-2 hours of homework expected between class meetings
- Homework is typically reading and analysis for class discussions

Course is divided into 3 major units and features 1 micro-unit. At the end of each major unit, students will demonstrate their understanding with a project.

READ ON FOR A MORE DETAILED BREAKDOWN:

Unit One prepares students to write a suspenseful short story by reading and analyzing Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery “And Then There Were None.” Students will become familiar with foreshadowing, irony, and symbolism as they build their vocabulary and writing skills. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to write and present an original short story that builds suspense and ends with commentary on what justice means to them.

A two day micro-unit focuses on investigating a crime. Students will develop their analysis skills as they examine evidence, use reasoning, and discuss with classmates to solve the case and hold the culprit accountable.

Unit Two engages students in David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon as they prepare to write a piece of literary journalism. Students will develop a critical understanding of U.S. history and expand their vocabulary as they become familiar with the conventions of literary journalism, research, and citation. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to write and present a piece of literary journalism that informs the audience of a historical criminal. Students will also have the option to add more life to their written work by transforming it into a podcast episode.

Unit Three develops students’ understanding of the U.S. legal system as they read a novelization of Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls.” Students will become familiar with the U.S Federal Court System, civil cases, due process, voir dire, and other aspects of a civil suit. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to participate in a mock trial that covers a civil suit between characters from “Mean Girls.”

Students should be prepared to participate in class and engage with texts at grade level. I am here to aid students as they develop, but that can only happen if students are prepared to read our texts with moderate to minimal assistance.

Three novels must be purchased/rented for this course: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (purchased/rented by the first meeting), Killers of the Flower Moon: Adapted for Young Readers by David Grann (purchased/rented by Week 6), and Mean Girls by Micol Ostow (purchased/rented by Week 10). It is important that you purchase the Young Readers version of Killers of the Flower Moon as that is the version we are using in this course. If there are any questions or issues about purchasing or renting these novels, please reach out.

And Then There Were None: While this novel is a common one to find in public high schools, there are some considerations to keep in mind. This novel can sometimes be a product of its time with how some characters view race, ethnicity, and gender. It is a murder mystery that features the deaths of several characters, including suicide. I do not consider the writing to be gruesome, but everyone has their own comfort levels. Please consider looking here for more info: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/and-then-there-were-none Killers of the Flower Moon - Adapted for Young Readers: This book covers true events that detail murders of Native Americans. The original book has been adapted to be appropriate for ages 10 and up. Despite the changes, it remains faithful to the original version. Please make sure you obtain the "Adapted for Young Readers Version" since this is the version we are using in our course. Mean Girls: This is a novelization of the film. Anything you might associate with a high school comedy is included, such as cursing, bullying, underage drinking, crude humor that references sexuality and drugs. While the story has a good message and fits perfectly into our curriculum, it is up to you if it is within your comfort zone. Common Sense Media does not feature this novel, but it does feature the film: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/mean-girls. Amazon has the novel listed as "Reading Age: 14 years and up" and "Grade Level: 9-12"
