NOTE: Students who select this course must also be enrolled in the Lehigh Career & Technical Institute (LCTI). The teaching of English on this level must be as personalized as possible because of the varied interest levels of the students and the wide range of their abilities. Because of these varied levels, reading for understanding and information will be stressed. This course will combine traditional academic education with a concentration on career preparation, focusing closely on writing effectiveness, reading comprehension, and connecting course content to the work world in such concepts of teamwork, reliability, leadership, and responsibility. Vocabulary and real-world skills are incorporated through the contexts of reading, writing, and career readiness terminology. At the same time, this course will also require students to explore and evaluate their potential career pathways as well as develop 21st century career readiness skills through daily class activities, self-assessment tools and career exploration opportunities integrated into the curriculum, mainly via Xello and fiction and non-fiction reading content. If a student withdraws from LCTI, that student will also be withdrawn from this course and required to enroll in course English 3 CP (132).
