Literature & Composition
In English 3 & 4, students are exposed to a variform selection of western literature, drawn from a diverse body of sources ranging from ancient Greece to contemporary America. Texts are chosen to build upon the literacy skills base established during first year English courses, and to present new challenges in the students’ progression toward college level proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and general data interpretation. In this course, ELA standards* provide the framework for instructional topics and class exercises, which reflect an intensive focus on analytical reading and writing.
