This curriculum guide provides an outline of the general boundaries of various courses in secondary school language arts. Sections describe the general scope, points of interest and emphasis, areas for learning experiences, and expected outcomes for course offerings in grades 7-9 and 10-12 (including advanced placement). Behavioral outcomes in listening, speaking and oral interpretation, reading, writing, language, and literature are taken up. In addition to traditional English courses, six speech and two journalism courses are also discussed. A chart providing information on the scope, content, and sequence of the courses (grades 1-12), is keyed to state adopted textbooks. (LH)
