English 12 Independent Study Credit Recovery (CR)
Cost: $199 per semester
Prerequisites: Previously failed the course
Length: Two semesters (8 weeks each)
Required Course Materials: Students are required to read three novels from the given list that can be purchased or borrowed from the public library.
Course Description: Market Square Education’s Independent Study English 12 Credit Recovery course focuses on reading complex literature from fiction and nonfiction texts, studying famous speeches, writing formal essays in a variety of structures, acquiring new literary vocabulary, developing an argument paper, writing a research paper with in-text citations from outside sources, preparing a resume and college applications, and comparing/contrasting two pieces of literature. Students will learn to identify and utilize literary devices and plot-based terms within their writing. Each essay related to literature requires in-text citations with support from the work of literature. To offer support in this area, all students must successfully complete an Academic Integrity Unit that defines important words such as plagiarism, integrity, and citation. Students learn resources to adequately cite sources using MLA documentation. Links to instructional, online information are readily available during the semester and beyond to promote student success in the area of academic integrity.
Because this course is independent study, students will create a course proposal at the beginning of the course to learn important time-management skills. At the end of the course, a course reflection essay will solidify student growth as a reader, writer, and a student.

Course Description: Market Square Education’s online English 12Credit Recovery course features pretests at the beginning of each unit, allowing students to test out of mastered concepts and instead focus where they need the most support. Credit Recovery eliminates teacher scored work with the exception of teacher scored tests at the end of each unit. Passing score is 70% or greater with the completion of all unit tests. Students will not pass without completing all tests.
The English 12 course asks students to closely analyze British literature and world literature and consider how we humans define and interact with the unknown, the monstrous, and the heroic. In the epic poems The Odyssey, Beowulf, and The Inferno, in Shakespeare’s Tempest, in the satire of Swift, and in the rhetoric of World War II, students examine how the ideas of “heroic” and “monstrous” have been defined across cultures and time periods and how the treatment of the “other” can make monsters or heroes of us all.
Reading Frankenstein and works from those who experienced the imperialism of the British Empire, students explore the notion of inner monstrosity and consider how the dominant culture can be seen as monstrous in its ostensibly heroic goal of enlightening the world.
Throughout this course, students analyze a wide range of literature, both fiction and nonfiction. They build writing skills by composing analytical essays, persuasive essays, personal narratives, and research papers. In order to develop speaking and listening skills, students participate in discussions and give speeches. Overall, students gain an understanding of the way British and world literature represent the array of voices that contribute to our global identity.
