Course Description
This course is an honors English course designed to
provide college-bound students with the opportunity to critically
analyze and interpret selected literary works from each of
the following periods and movements in American
Literature: Colonialism, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism,
Naturalism, Modernism, Harlem Renaissance, 20th
Century Contemporary, and 21st Centrury Contemporary. Our
approach to the literature for this course offers students a
challenge in terms of reading pace and/or depth of analysis.
We will hone and expand upon our writing skills through a
variety of expositional and creative papers with a special focus
on the research process and the thesis-based research
paper. Critical analysis of film, student presentations, and
academic discourse activities will provide us with
opportunities to further develop literacy in a variety of media
beyond print. As with most honors courses, this course involves
a consistent homework load of long-term and short-term
assignments as well as summer reading. NCAA Approved. |
