Through the study of British Literature, Language Arts 12 covers four key areas from the Common Core State Standards: (1) Reading literature, (2) Reading non-fiction, (3) Writing, and (4) Speaking and listening. The reading instruction focuses on citing textual evidence, determining the theme or main idea, analyzing character, determining the meaning of words, plus analyzing text structure and point of view.
