Based on the idea that the goal of English instruction is to develop language skills that will assist each student in his or her search for identity, in relationships with other people, and in becoming a proficient and sensitive human being, this curriculum guide is divided into two major sections, grades 7 through 9 and grades 10 through 12. In each case, the curriculum is presented in charts divided into topic, objective, and comments/activities. A much larger proportion of the guide consists of appendixes. Those for grades 7 through 9 contain (1) a flow chart of writing objectives, (2) suggested writing assignments, (3) literature materials, (4) a manuscript correction guide, (5) the policy on student file folders and monitoring, and (6) an evaluation of writing manual. In addition to covering the same topics as the appendixes in the previous section, appendixes for grades 10 through 12 also include a chart showing writing skills in 11th and 12th grade and suggested syllabi for these three grades.
