American Literature is a college-preparatory literature / /survey course. The works we read in this course, including novels, short / /stories, and poems, have been selected for literary quality and for their place / /in the historical development of literature. Students will gain an / /understanding of the development of American literature and will practice the / /skills of close literary analysis through essays and discussion. We will / /examine the worldviews of both the authors and their times and how this shaped / /their writing.

This course will cover a large section of American literature / /beginning with the colonial times to the present.  We will read authors such as Fitzgerald, / /Hawthorne, Poe, and Bradbury are among the authors we will read.  Students will read closely, think carefully, / /critically & analytically, and discuss thoroughly. This prepares them to write / /beautifully and persuasively.

Our writing focus will be on literary analysis which will be / /done through short response essays to a full research paper. Tests include / /short quizzes each week, unit finals, and semester finals.

My goal is for students to be excited about seeing / /literature come to life, sharing their words through writing, and broadening / /their world view. I set high standards but work to provide students the tools / /necessary to succeed.
