Description: 11th Grade English (Fall Semester) covers American literature from prehistory to after the Civil War. The course uses two components of literacy—reading and writing—to help build an understanding of the time periods covered, the people involved, and the policies in place during those time periods. We will show the connection between historical events and literature using prominent pieces of American literature as well as lesser-known works. Students keep a journal throughout the course to help them think more deeply about the topics and prepare for class discussions.
DATES: Enrollments begin in May; coursework starts September 4, 2012. Spring enrollments begin in October; coursework starts in January.
Special Instructions: The course content will be viewable two weeks prior to the start date. Read more about our semester courses online. The semester courses follow a specific calendar, and the normal 9-month completion policy does not apply to these courses. Therefore, students who have not completed all work by the due date for the course final (listed on the course calendar) will automatically be withdrawn from the course.
Lesson assignments need to be created in Microsoft Word or another word processor that saves files as .doc (Word 97–2003 document) or .rtf (Rich Text format). The same textbooks are also used for the fall semester.
