English 10 challenges students to look at the dichotomy of human nature and the trials of adolescence by reading classic American and British novels as well as one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies. Connections among literary genres will be discussed through the thematic analysis of short stories and poems by the masters, old and new. Vocabulary growth, test-taking strategies and writing skills will be emphasized to prepare for the rigors of the PSAT and the English Language Arts Regents exam taken at the next grade level.
