I. Course Description:

Focusing on a chronological study of American literature, students will develop an understanding of the importance of various periods of literature that characterize and reflect the American experience. They will read, interpret, analyze, and apply knowledge of the structures, themes, and elements of American fiction and nonfiction. Examining letters, journals, diaries, and speeches, students will trace the history of the development of American literature. They will also consider the influence of mythical and classical texts on American authors. Through extensive reading, students will acquire new vocabulary specific to the study of American literature and apply that knowledge in their writing. Writing is one of our most rigorous intellectual activities and an integral part of our curriculum.

II. Expectations: Students are expected to have the appropriate materials, arrive promptly, and behave in a respectful manner towards teacher and fellow students.  Participation and active engagement is expected in this class.
