Room 143
The main goal of English I, Forging Identity Through Language and Literature, is to examine how individual people, communities, and cultures form and maintain distinctive identities in an increasingly globalized world. The literature study, which will be organized by thematic units, will explore the ways in which written and oral language reflect the essential aspects of the human condition as well as examine the diversity of people and cultures. Many of the texts will focus on rites of passage, development of moral and ethical codes, and various cultural and social identities.
