This course is designed to give students an enriched, global experience in American Literature while encouraging steady growth in all other aspects of language arts abilities. The course stresses the influence of historical events on literary schools of thought. Students learn to assess and analyze poetry, short stories, and novels of selected major and minor American writers. Students will examine the intellectual and historical environments in which the works appear. Students are expected to continue their study of grammar and vocabulary and refine their writing and test-taking skills. Students will write and produce formal essays in and out of the classroom, and they are expected to write one research paper with documentation in the APA format. All new students considering American Literature are required to first take an assessment test.
