This chronological survey of American literature covers major and minor works of fiction, non-fiction, drama, and poetry from 1865 through the late 1900s. The novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby will be studied. The curriculum demands writing literary analysis papers originating from works studied, and involves the study of literary theory. There is weekly vocabulary work. The semester includes a multi-genre project. Motivated, self-directed students who feel they would like to take a more active role in their learning and are capable of the additional challenge are encouraged to enroll. The course will cover more material more quickly than English 11.
College Credit Transfer Details:
The high school offers college credit courses for students but remember, it is the students’ responsibility to request transcripts to be sent to their college of choice for transfer of credits. There is a form in the guidance office to assist you with this process. Important note: your GPA received in these courses MAY affect your college GPA. This will depend on which college you attend.
