English 3 Honors is an accelerated version of regular English 3, and it is intended for students with an interest in college-level English studies. Three formal essays are assigned, and their rubrics are demanding. Grammar studies are rigorous; the units are covered at a faster pace and require analysis of Standard English. American Literary movements make up the literature taught in this course, beginning with Native American folklore through Modernism. Required reading includes selections from an anthology, one play, and one novel. There are also varied independent reading assignments throughout the year. This course is a prerequisite for British Literature or AP English.
