Enriched Language Arts

The goal of the enriched language arts class is to offer students a challenging English/Language Arts curriculum that prepares them to enter the honors track at Westlake High School.  Students will be required to complete a substantial amount of reading and writing activities both in and out of the classroom.  Students will begin advanced novel studies, and use close reading techniques to prepare them for the high school honors track as well as for any and all standardized tests.
