Hello Juniors & Seniors! 

American Literature is a study of issues that the United States has confronted in its past and continues to struggle with today. In this course, students read and analyze works of American literature from pre-Colonial to contemporary times, including poetry, short stories, novels, drama, and nonfiction of Indigenous Peoples, explorers, colonials, revolutionaries, and more. The literary works provide opportunities for critical writing, creative projects, and discussions. Students develop vocabulary skills and refresh their knowledge of grammar, usage, and mechanics. 

I can't wait to study these works with you and help you become more aware, appreciative, and engaged in our country's literary tradition.
