Course Description:
 Instruction in each standards-based unit of study integrates reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language study. Students are provided with multiple opportunities to articulate their own ideas as well as to question, interpret, analyze, extend, and evaluate others’ ideas. While similar to English 3,4, this course offers greater depth, complexity, novelty, and an accelerated pace for students who perform in the upper quartile in academic achievement or who have a teacher recommendation. The course meets the requirements for the Diploma with Academic Distinction.

This course also provides protected time for small group designated English Language Development (dELD) instruction for English learners at all proficiency levels. This small group instruction builds critical language skills into and from the English content and is focused on the CA ELD Standards.
