English 2 is a 7 week course in advanced paper writing and research skills offered the first and second half of each spring semester. This course is designed for students who scored over 610 on the SAT verbal examination, and students who have exempted the writing requirement or already completed English 1 but would like to take their research and expository writing skills to a new level. Students in the class learn how to conduct academic research on a topic of their choice using the Internet and the library to find sources. Emphasis will be on the selection of texts, the evaluation of those texts, analysis and synthesis of sources, and the development of a solid thesis derived from the evidence and supported by it in an academic research paper. The principles and strategies taught in this class are also applicable to students writing or planning to write honors theses. Most sections of the course are taught in a networked classroom using the students' own computers connected to the Drew computer network. Research papers may be presented in the form of linked html documents at the discretion of the instructor. |
