Senior English

Students will explore identity, culture, and meaning by asking how authors reveal to us who we are. This course will examine novels, plays, short stories, poems, and critical essays with a focus on non-Western writers who explore universal themes. Students will be assessed through critical and argumentative essays, research papers, creative writing projects, presentations, and collaborative ventures, while using the many technological tools at their disposal.

During the summer, in addition to the schoolwide required summer reading selection, students who choose to enroll in honors will read by A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah. Students must see their teacher before summer vacation for the assignment details.
