Honors English Opens New Doors for Literature Enthusiasts

The second semester of the 2014-2015 school year, sophomores have been offered an Honors English class which will help them get into Advanced Placement Literature and Composition as Juniors. Students had to write an entry essay on why they thought they’d be good for the class and how they will succeed in it. Approximately one-third of the Sophomore grade made it into Honors 2B for the second semester. 

Honors English provides more of a challenge to students who are willing to take it. Students in Honors have higher level pieces of literature to read and comprehend, and have higher writing expectations as far as writing reflections and responses to assigned books, poems, or plays. 

This is the first year that Boone High has offered this to sophomore. Ann Luong, sophomore, says, "It helps for the future in case you want to take more classes." She says this class opens more opportunities and that it is fun "because she challenges thrown at me allow me to see my potential in the English field." Emily Headley, sophomore, says, “Honors English helps me relate to the topics that we’re reading now. It’s awesome because we get to journal, which I like doing.” 

Honors English is a great way to have students start off well in class early in their high school career. Students will learn about themselves as writers and learn the skills and techniques or literary analysis, which will open new doors in their career if they choose to follow the English path.
