About This Class
English III is a study of the development of American literature through various genres including: non-fiction, poetry, short stories, drama, and novels. Students will analyze and evaluate informational and literary works in conjunction with American historical events. Through reading prolific writers such as Anne Bradstreet, Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Ernest Hemingway, Arthur Miller, and Amy Tan, students will explore major questions surrounding the American identity, literature as a reflection and shaper of society, and the relationship between literature and setting. In tandem with literary study, they will also sharpen vocabulary and grammar skills through interactive activities and writing assignments. English III students are expected to produce coherent and well organized writing using the writing process. Students will write narrative, persuasive, and informational pieces. Multiple choice, open-response, and essay assessments will measure students' progress throughout their study of the content.
