This is an adaptive credit recovery course, in which students will complete a pretest for each module, and will be exempted from activities for topics where mastery is demonstrated. This type of credit recovery course targets individual areas of need in the curriculum and minimizes repetition of content where students have demonstrated their understanding.
Students will study literature, focusing on a comparative analysis of different forms of world literature delivered in different media. Writing and informational text lessons guide students through the stages of research and demonstrate how to evaluate, integrate, and synthesize the information gathered during the research process. Students will read a variety of short stories, plays, poems, essays, and informational writing. All text is included within the course.
Major topics include:
- Literary forms
- Comparative literature
- Literary analysis
- Evaluating arguments
- Research process and skills
- Forms of media and multimedia
Students learn through online lesson activities, videos, and interactive activities. Each module begins with a pretest, proceeds to lessons that conclude with a brief self-check, and wraps with a module exam. The course concludes with a cumulative exam.
This course uses content from Accelerate Education taught by a VHS Learning instructor who is certified in their content area and who follows VHS Learning policies. The course will be hosted in the Buzz learning management system. Students may spend 40 hours completing this course, though actual time-spent will vary based on individual student performance in module pretests.
