The English I: Language Skills course from Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum (PAC) develops language arts skills reviewing the parts of speech and their application, alongside a focus on strong writing skills. This course was designed to help students who've been identified as exhibiting weak composition skills; it's recommended for use as a grade 9 remedial language arts curriculum.
Five text books feature the readings for the course. Together they cover the parts of speech; literary concepts such as cause and effect, logic, premises, comparison, and contrast; types of writing and appropriate writing technique, and more.
The five activity books correspond to each text, and include fill-in-the-blank, true/false, multiple choice, and matching type questions that test the student's knowledge of the concepts and Life Principles taught in the texts.
The loose-leaf teacher's guide contains the student texts' table of contents, activity answer keys, section quizzes, chapter tests, quiz answer keys, chapter test answer keys, and supplemental administrative resources. Pages are three-hole-punched. An access card to downloadable content is also included.
5 Chapters; non-reproducible pages, stapled bindings, paper covers. Suggested for Grades 9 remedial. Designed to cover one year.
Please note that this curriculum was designed to teach students who face challenging home settings. In preparation, the authorship team of the Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum System interviewed hundreds of parents, students, juvenile probation officers, state education officials, and police for some of the stories and examples.
