English III American Lit.
1492 present
In English III, we study American literature
from the Colonial period to the present.We study the literature within the context of
the time period in which it was created, so
you will study both literature and history.
The theme of the course is
organized around a newspaper,
so you will also learn about
being a reporter, the different
elements of a newspaper, etc.
