What is life? In English 2, students learn how the human experience—or in other words, “real life”—is the foundation of the best stories, plays, poems, films, and articles. As they consider their own life experiences and the experiences of others, students are encouraged to seek the abundant life Christ offers. In each module of the course, students explore a specific aspect of the human experience such as laughter, obstacles, fear, and betrayal. Through the study of literature, nonfiction, and life, students explore what it means to be human—what it means to be fulfilled, triumphant, empowered, and transformed.

Throughout these studies, students see that clear and effective communication is important, because God in His very nature is a communicator. Whether reading a poem or a novel, writing a story or an analysis, or studying a Shakespearean tragedy or a modern suspense film, students explore what it means to be human—a subject on which the Life-Giver has much to say!
