In this course, we will meet the state standards required for high school graduation as we study the great writers and poets from Bradstreet to Bradbury; the Puritans to the Harlem Renaissance. Over 2 semesters, each era in American Literature (1630-1960) will be covered. Students will enhance their critical thinking skills and develop their understanding of American Literature. Our weekly class sessions will provide a time of interaction between the students and teacher where they will engage in meaningful discussions of our weekly active readings and assignments; conduct presentations; and participate in group projects and collaborative assignments. This class will include the study of poetry and short stories, novel reviews, literary devices, composition, timed writings, and thesis statements.
