College Bound English is set up as a dual credit course with college credit coming from Northern State University’s Rising Scholar program. Within this Rising Scholar program, all students signed up to take the college bound course must be on the college roster and taking the class for college credit. This course is organized to provide the college minded individual with an intense background of literature, grammar, speech, researching and research paper formats, and journal writing exercises. Students will read British Literature (including one Shakespearean play), Native American Literature, and other forms of in-depth novels to help promote critical thinking skills along with learning the correct format in MLA documentation and research writing presentation. In meeting these requirements, students will earn 6 college credits that can be transferred to virtually any post-secondary institution after graduation.
