Grade six English Emphasis is placed on mastering basic language and learning skills: sentence and paragraph formation, vocabulary development, concise summary, accurate reading, systematic thinking, and regular listening。The grammatical analysis work is the first stage of the two-year course and introduces the components of discourse, phrases and clauses, and the basic patterns of English sentences。Composition instruction focuses primarily on paragraph organization and development - precise topic sentences, relevant supporting details, and effective conclusion statements - but students also have the opportunity to experiment with poetry, fiction, and personal thought。The assigned readings represent a variety of literary situations, from the real to the fantastic, and a variety of human behavior, from the heroic to the absurd。Although students do encounter important critical concepts and terms, the literary work seeks not to introduce the techniques of literary criticism, but to develop a simple vicarious appreciation of precise observation, accurate recall, and the re-creation of the imagination of human behavior。Unifying themes include friendship, courage, justice and service to others。The following books will be studied in this course。李 Et al., The Grammar of Writing.。 Angelo, The author ofI know why the caged bird sings 》 ；吉布森 。 The Miracle Worker；李。 To Kill a Mockingbird;Shakespeare。 A Midsummer Night's Dream;斯坦贝克。 "Of Mice and Men.

English class II Begin with an in-depth examination of the techniques and attitudes necessary for mature critical reading and writing。Class discussions of short stories, poems, and plays raise questions and issues that students then begin to explore and address in substantive critical essays, with significant advances in writing taking place separately as a result of reviews of submitted papers, private meetings, and requested revisions。In addition to an in-depth study of Shakespeare's tragedies, the program focuses on a year-long exploration of important thematic currents in American literature and culture。Even without formal coordination, the literary ideas explored in English and the political and social issues raised in American history mirror each other。Through reading and critical and creative writing assignments, students consider some of the enduring myths of the American experience (frontier heroes, the American Dream, the melting pot) and some of the enduring tensions (individualism versus democracy, freedom versus bondage, nature versus civilization, simplicity versus complexity).。Among the works studied are the following。Akhtar。 耻辱Connero,Six American poets；道格拉斯，《The life narrative of Frederick Douglass 》。 transcendentalism。Emerson and ThoreauFitzgerald, 《 The Great Gatsby ；Gioa and Gwen 。 The art of the short story； Morrison 。 Song of SolomonShakespeare。 Hamlet吐温。 Huckleberry Finn.
