Welcome!

This course is comprehensive senior level English (English 4). In this course we use British Literature to help strengthen the skills of reading and writing with an emphasis on the analysis of the literature. Through the development of reading and writing skills the goal is to move all students to the district goal of being college and career ready through their ability to critically analyze the literature and their response to it. 

Class Overview

British Literature is a traditional survey of literature from England from its origins to modern day. The course will follow a sequential timeline starting with early Anglo-Saxon influence and ending in post-modernism. Students will be expected to evaluate both the literature, the inspiration of the literature, and the impact the literature had on both people of its time and today's reader. Students will improve on their writing skills through various grammar and writing activities. They will also improve reading skills through group and individual readings. All assignments will include opportunities for students to read, listen, speak, and write about the literature.  By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of the English language, British author's and their inspirations, and the impact their literature has had on our population.
