Class OverviewThe focal point of this course will be the Henderson County Graduation Project. Students will have the opportunity to explore something that interests them, and they will become an expert in that given subject area. Through research, time spent with a mentor, and time spent in class, students will write an argumentative research paper and create a product to present on jury night. Along with the senior project, students will explore new vocabulary words through a fifteen week curriculum. We will hone our grammar skills through a variety of weekly activities. We will also read a variety of British Literature to help us prepare for the North Carolina English IV Final Exam.
