North Dakota High School English Topics
- Reading Literature: Students analyze fiction, poetry, and drama, examining themes, character development, point of view, and how an author uses structure and language to shape meaning.
- Reading Informational Texts: Students work with nonfiction sources, evaluating arguments, tracing evidence, and comparing how different texts address the same topic or idea.
- Writing: Students develop argumentative, informational, and narrative writing skills, learning to plan, draft, revise, and edit texts for a range of purposes and audiences.
