English III presents literature that is identified by internal conflict, idealism, and loyalty vs. betrayal. Discussions and papers will spotlight and assess themes, characters, and literary focus. Short stories and poetry require the reader to draw conclusions from shorter pieces of fiction and grow as readers. Mechanics and usage will be reinforced through student work in each of the units being studied.

   Beyond the study of literature, we will also be preparing for life beyond high school. We will focus on developing solid writing and analytical skills.
