For those of you who are filling out/have filled out transcripts, how did you address lang arts?
I was wondering if I should put:
English 9, Eng 10, Eng 11, Eng 12 or
Lang Arts 9, 10, etc
or be more specific with the literature and go:
English 9/World Lit
English 10/Classical Lit
English 11/British Lit
English 12/American Lit
Not that we are actually being so specific about what we read when, but I just need to think about how this will all look on a transcript eventually.
I assume all lang arts (lit, grammar, writing, etc,) for the year would be counted as one class, right?
Anyway, how are you doing it/did you do it?

It's all in the packaging, isn't it? 
We're calling it English 9 because that's how our state's graduation requirements look.
Can you access your state's graduation requirements, and *package* your transcript accordingly?

Yes, that's how we did it as well.

A good opportunity for a thrilling game of darts??? Hang the different state grad requirements on the wall and throw a dart!!! Seriously though...you can probably model after your current state's requirements, and if you move again, wherever you are for his senior year, amend your transcript to reflect *that* state's requirements. ? ?

I belong to an umbrella that issues transcripts, but I send in their grades. I list it as English 9, 10, etc. for each year.
And that included grammar, composition, vocabulary, and literature.

Riding on Theresa's coat tails... would you still call it just "English 9" even if you've had a weird focus for your literature - like, say, epic poetry or something? What if you end up with enough lit to grant its own Carnegie unit? Do you break it up then or still keep it together?

We broke it up for our dd. She wrote and read so much that she earned the credits. (She's a journalism major now and is considering a minor in Lit  .) For my ds, I'll keep all the English together.
Love,

Hi Kristie,
I'm not Angie - but I thought I'd share how we did it. My daughter is an English/Journalism/Liberal Arts major so she has a lot of English credits. Here are some of them:
English: Ancient Literature
English: Lit Analysis and Composition I
English: Lit Analysis and Composition II
English: American Literature
English: British Literature
English: Advanced Composition and Public Speaking
and then I had narrative descriptions and booklists for each. Plus noted that written papers were availabe upon request.
Hope this helps.

After sitting through HSLDAs high school workshop on transcripts unless they ask for more, the less info really is better.
So we have English 9, English 10 etc.
EXCEPTION if you have done a literature, or say a creative writing course load, that in and of itself had enough hours and work for a full high school course, then make that a separate class if you also did plain old English stuffs too...like Vocab, grammar, writing, all packaged in one English class.
If say all you did was a creative writing in the ninth grade, no literaure, no Vocab...I would still call that English 9.
Did that make sense or was it clear as mud?

Makes sense! I don't want to overdo it, but would like to give him an extra credit for British Literature/Poetry. I could probably give him many extra with a good conciense but he has enough already...(we have to give a whopping 4 credits for phys-ed here! It is crazy. Although the craziest thing for this kid is that that will be the last thing to get accomplished. My dh has decided with good conscience that we are not stopping him from graduating because he lacks phys-ed hours. Maybe I could convince them that reading epic poetry could be a good substitute ?)
