English 10

The focus of English 10 is American Literature as it has evolved from the Natives and founders of America to the variety of present-day authors. Students will be exposed to many of the readings and writings that have shaped American culture.  The emphasis will be on accurate comprehension of content as well as clear understanding of an author’s purpose, voice, point of view, tone, and style.  Major emphasis will be placed on the development of the literary essay.  Requirements include class discussion, short critical papers, essays, tests, quizzes, vocabulary, and nightly reading and notes.

**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.
