English 11 A – H

Course Description:
English 11 is devoted to a study of American literature from the colonial period to the late twentieth century. Because much of the early literature is nonfiction (diaries, letters, sermons, almanacs, speeches, and foundational documents), there are many opportunities to analyze historical and informational texts. Students come to see the fluid relationshipbetween fiction and nonfiction. In seminars, students discuss essential questions. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to make connections with history, art, and other subjects. Essays range from the analytical to the creative. Students build on their writing skills from previous years, integrating multiple sources and perspectives into their work, reading literary criticism, and writing longer and more complex essays. To build appreciation of the sounds and rhythms of American literature, students continue to study poems and speeches and refine their expressive delivery. English Language Arts proficiency may be earned through this course. Course Prerequisites:
