In English 11, Part 1, you will explore the course theme of Becoming a Global Citizen. The course is divided into three units of instruction:

• Unit 1 includes Modules 1-5. In this unit, students will discover what it means to be a global citizen.
• Unit 2 includes Modules 6-11. In this unit, students will be introduced to the anchor text I Am Malala which is a true story of a Pakistani girl who fought to be educated and made an inspiring difference in the world for all girls who might live in oppressive societies to have the opportunity to be educated. In Module 11, students will choose from a list of novels to read as a Global Independent Reading Novel for the final unit. Students will compare and contrast their independent novel with I Am Malala.
• The final Unit 3, which includes modules 12-16 will focus on students identifying a problem and creating a Civic Action Project (CAP). Students will conduct research, write, and record a public speech or announcement about the issue they are passionate about for their CAP.
• Module 16 will be the final module in which the CAP is due and students will take a short final exam.
