Contemporary Lit

Description: These courses combine a general survey of works of the past thirty years with writing skill development needed by students after they graduate from high school. The literature of the course emphasizes novels that explore the issue of making decisions and finding purpose. Students will investigate this topic with greater depth and focus through a variety of assignments that are critical and/or creative. The student will continue to improve essay-writing skills through logical and coherent development of ideas. Requirements include nightly reading, class discussion, written responses, and critical papers.

**Please note that our curricula are under constant review and may be adjusted to suit the needs of our students. These changes may take place more quickly than can be reflected on this site at a given moment in time. We will update periodically.
