HONORS AMERICAN LITERATURE DESCRIPTION

Prerequisite: B- in Fresh English, writing sample (replaces Sophomore English)

This course studies American Literature from its early beginnings to the present. Students will read, analyze, and critique all forms of literature, including poetry, drama, and several novels. The accelerated pace of this class demands a serious commitment to outside reading. The course emphasizes independent reading and analytical writing, providing academic challenge to the serious student. A sophomore student in Honors American Literature must receive a final grade of B- or above in each trimester before advancing to Honors World Literature as a junior. No sophomore may enter Honors American Literature after the first trimester.

Tuesday, January 22 – 2:40pm – Room 54
Wednesday, January 23 – 2:40pm – Room 56
Thursday, January 24 – 7:00am – Room 56
Thursday, January 24 – 2:40pm – Room 54 and 56

Students are accepted into Honors American Literature based on:
1) their grade in Freshman English

3) their performance on the writing sample.
