This junior-year English course invites students to delve into
American literature from early American Indian voices through
contemporary works. Students engage in literary analysis and
inferential evaluation of great texts as the centerpieces of this
course. While critically reading fiction, poetry, drama, and
expository nonfiction, students master comprehension and literary
analysis strategies. Interwoven in the lessons across two semesters
are tasks that encourage students to strengthen their oral language
skills and produce creative, coherent writing. Students read a range
of short but complex texts, including works by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Paul Laurence
Dunbar, Martin Luther King, Jr., F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sandra Cisneros,
Amy Tan, and Dave Eggers.
