COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
British Literature provides students with a survey of literature in this genre. Students explore the Anglo-Saxon and medieval eras, the English Renaissance, and the Restoration and Enlightenment periods. They analyze how authors from this region have traditionally constructed texts and developed prominent and long-lasting literature. In this course, students examine a variety of styles and use the vocabulary that is characteristic of the literature pieces they are reading. This course offers students numerous chances to discuss, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the texts they read through a wide range of writing and thinking exercises.
In the honors variant of this course, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students in the honors courses are also presented with a cumulative exam, the Semester Final, where they will be assessed on the aggregate of content presented throughout the semester.
