The power of words is undeniable. They have the remarkable ability to shape our thoughts, challenge our perspectives, and ignite change within the world. From thought-provoking discussions that spark intellectual curiosity to persuasive arguments that move hearts and minds, words possess an extraordinary force that can power new ideas, influence society, and drive us towards a brighter future.

ASU Prep Global’s English Language Arts 10 course is a remarkable educational journey that empowers students to sharpen their skills in writing, speaking, and critical thinking through engaging and creative methods.

Students are active participants who harness the power of words to express their thoughts and ideas in compelling ways.

This dynamic curriculum, available through the ASU Prep Learning Cloud, is designed to meet the needs of high school students, using technology to pave the way for a new generation of curiously engaged students.

The inspiration behind this innovative high school course

The inspiration for this course comes from a desire to make literature and language more engaging and relevant to students.”

“The inspiration for this course comes from a desire to make literature and language more engaging and relevant to students,” explains Sarah Milne, Digital Product Architect at ASU Prep. “Our goal is to help students discover their unique voices, develop critical thinking skills, and appreciate the power of words.”

This vision led to the creation of a course that fosters a love for reading, encourages thoughtful analysis of diverse texts, and empowers students to express themselves creatively. It sharpens critical thinking, prompting deep text analysis, challenging assumptions, and forming meaningful connections between literature and the world.

Featuring activities like immersive reading experiences, digital storytelling, civil dialogue practice, and multimedia presentations, the course focuses on reading, writing, speaking, and presenting. It prepares students to be effective communicators in both academic and real-world contexts.

This course emphasizes critical thinking and personal growth, offering self-assessment opportunities and helping students understand how literature reflects human experiences.

Building the best course for students and teachers

The development of ASU Prep Global’s English Language Arts 10 course involved an iterative design process that included continuous feedback from teachers, students, and other stakeholders. “Our objective was to create a seamless and intuitive interface that encourages students to explore and learn,” says Eric Barker, Lead User Experience Design Director at ASU Prep.

“We were always listening to our users, making adjustments to ensure the curriculum met their needs,” adds Lauren Kern, a Curriculum Specialist at ASU Prep. This process helped in refining the curriculum to offer the best possible learning experience.

A visionary approach to high school English Language Arts education

ASU Prep Global’s English Language Arts curriculum was designed from the ground up to prepare students for future academic and career success. By integrating cutting-edge technology and innovative teaching methods, we aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel.

In the English 10 ASU Prep Global course, students encounter real world questions they don’t know the answers to—yet. They’ll need to explore and interact with all the activities on a page before moving on. Active learning means making guesses, playing around and discovering information—and the opportunity to keep trying until they get the right answer.

Once students select an answer, specially designed feedback will give them hints and suggestions to adjust their understanding or rationale to confirm their learning. The process of active learning facilitates the activation of prior knowledge, fosters the discovery of information, and provides students the opportunity to keep trying until they master the concepts.

Let’s take a look at a few of the features you’ll find throughout this innovative online course:

  • Guided discovery approach

    This inquiry-based approach involves tapping into students’ existing knowledge and building new understanding through a self-directed process. Along the way, students ask questions, explore, and reflect as they make connections and construct meaning independently, fostering a deeper, more personalized learning experience.

  • Innovation

    Simulations, like an escape room, make learning fun through what feels like gameplay. Students immerse themselves in the captivating world of literature, applying close reading techniques to unravel mysteries, solve puzzles, and unlock the secrets hidden within the text.

  • Interactivity

    Rigor and support are standard within this virtual course. Students are provided guidance to navigate complex writing assignments successfully with immediate, penalty-free feedback on practice items to ensure continuous improvement and a growth mindset.

  • Engagement

    Students explore literary devices in amusing and thought-provoking ways. To demonstrate their understanding of satire, they create memes. While playing with the concept of tone and mood, students design storyboards complete with befitting color swatches.

  • Captivating visuals

    Modern design elements, coupled with eye-catching graphics and dynamic videos simplify complex concepts, making them easier to understand and more engaging for students.
