[quote=Anonymous]Foreshadowing and all the other concepts you mention are taught in MCPS middle school. The usual complaint about 9th and 10th grade Honors English is that it's way too easy. Not that it's too hard! Perhaps your kid has a little ADHD/autistic tendencies going on, which is fine. One of my kids has that profile, and he needed a writing tutor in middle school, who taught him to close-read, pay attention to non-explicit hints in the text, understand actions in context, and re-explained literary concepts. By the time he arrived in high school, he didn't need the writing tutor anymore. He sailed through Honors English and AP Language, but then hit a wall in AP Literature, because he really needed a higher order of socio-emotional understanding that he just wasn't ready for. Again, typical for autistic kids. He's great at technical writing, though, and does a lot of it in college! [/quote]
