Objectives
In my English Language Arts classes, both 9th and 12th grade honors, there will be an established inquiry base that will open a framework of critical analysis strategies for students. In looking at and having to process crime fiction works for depth of understanding and comprehension on various levels through differentiated instruction, students will enhance a range of literary skills. Thus, they will become proficient in literary analysis skills according to Pennsylvania State Standards and the School District of Philadelphia's Core Curriculum guidelines.
Additionally, this unit will complement and support the highlighted English Language Arts eligible content areas. It meets the need for additional resources in the newly established African-American Literature theme component. This component has been prescribed by the School District of Philadelphia's Office of Curriculum and Instruction as a humanities elective. This unit will utilize state standards from Reading, Writing, and Speaking for the 11th grade student. We will also use some of the standards from the Arts and Humanities listing, as well as the History standards.
