10th Grade Lit & Comp

WELCOME TO 10TH GRADE LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION!!!

Tenth Grade Literature and Composition is a course study which engages students in a varied exploration of humanities through the modes of reading, writing, grammar and usage, and speaking and listening.   The literature provided in this course is organized geographically into four units spanning the globe. Each unit contains an introduction which provides the students with the background information to help make their reading experience more meaningful and a timeline that will assist students in keeping track of major literary and historical events. Through historical, social, and cultural forces students will be able to explain the influences that shape a specific literary period and relate big ideas that target three concepts that can be traced while reading literary works. Each literary work in this course will also incorporate academic vocabulary and writing. Overall, 10th grade Literature and Composition will explore and analyze how literary and historical influences determine the meaning of traditional and contemporary texts.
