WORDS IGNITE COURSE

‍Get Lit also offers a University of California A-G-approved, common-core aligned full year and half year curriculum that fulfills eithers the the “G” General Elective credit as well as the “B” English credit. Complete with everything you need from warm-ups to rubrics this course is designed to be a rigorous deep-dive into poetry that strengthens and elevates English Language Arts and social-emotional skills. Built on the foundation of pairing classic poetry and spoken word response writing and performance, challenging students to ask  “What is the impact of language?” and “How can we use poetry and other genres through evidence and argument to examine the world around us?” Words Ignite uses project-based learning, problem solving, and 21st century skills to develop students as great readers, writers, and performers. This course also focuses on peer-to-peer learning with collaborative teaching, research, writing, revision, workshops, publishing, and performance to help students synthesize and respond to poetic forms, universal themes, historical context, peer work, and the impact of literary devices. Students will engage in close reading, hone their craft, and offer critical critiques throughout this course. In short, they will act as both authors and advocates. As researchers, performers, and evaluators, they will be encouraged to examine the environment and rhetoric of the world around them
