English IV is designed to prepare students for undergraduate English and literature courses. Accordingly, the course is organized according to several objectives. Primarily, we work to refine students’ skills as critical readers and writers. To this end, we study several challenging short stories, the lyric poetry of William Shakespeare and John Donne, and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In addition, we devote considerable time to the college application process, including as a major assignment the drafting and revising of at least one college-application essay.
