North+Carolina+Standard+Course+of+Study+for+English+II

** **LANGUAGE ARTS :: 2004 :: ENGLISH II ** **ENGLISH II **  Students in English II read, discuss, and write about both classical and contemporary world literature (excluding British and American authors) through which students will identify cultural significance. They will examine pieces of world literature in a cultural context to appreciate the diversity and complexity of world issues and to connect global ideas to their own experiences. Students will continue to explore language for expressive, informational/explanatory, critical, argumentative and literary purposes, although emphasis will be placed on explanatory contexts. In addition to literature study, students will:  · Examine non-literary texts related to cultural studies.  · Research material to use primarily in clarifying their own explanatory responses to situations and literary-based issues.  · Critically interpret and evaluate experiences, literature, language, and ideas.  · Use standard grammatical conventions and select features of language appropriate to purpose, audience, and context of the work. **Strands: ** Oral Language, Written Language, and Other Media/Technology  **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">1.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Respond reflectively (through small group discussion, class discussion, journal entry, essay, letter, dialogue) to written and visual texts by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">1.03 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Demonstrate the ability to read, listen to and view a variety of increasingly complex print and non-print expressive texts appropriate to grade level and course literary focus, by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">2.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Create responses that examine a cause/effect relationship among events by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">2.03 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Pose questions prompted by texts (such as the impact of imperialism on //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Things Fall Apart //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">) and research answers by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">3.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Produce editorials or responses to editorials for a neutral audience by providing: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">3.03 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Respond to issues in literature in such a way that: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">3.04 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Demonstrate the ability to read, listen to and view a variety of increasingly complex print and non-print argumentative texts appropriate to grade level and course literary focus, by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Analyze thematic connections among literary works by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4.03 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Analyze the ideas of others by identifying the ways in which writers: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4.04 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Evaluate the information, explanations, or ideas of others by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4.05 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Demonstrate the ability to read, listen to and view a variety of increasingly complex print and non-print critical texts appropriate to grade level and course literary focus, by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">5.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Demonstrate increasing comprehension and ability to respond personally to texts by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">5.03 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Demonstrate the ability to read, listen to and view a variety of increasingly complex print and non-print literacy texts appropriate to grade level and course literary focus, by: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">6.02 **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> Edit for:
