Phases 1,2
This course engages students in an exploration
of questions: What is good writing? How can I
understand it? How can I produce it? What will
it do for me? Students examine works by
authors such as Lipsyte, Stienbeck,
Shakespeare, Henley, Brooks, Cisneros, Gibson,
and others. Students improve their own writing
by continuing their study of grammar and
completing both an I-Search and a portfolio of
their composition work.
Phases 3,4
This full year, one credit course engages
students in a thematic exploration of our
nation's literary heritage through a deep
exploration of the essential questions:
How
do you form a free society? and
How do
you reform a free society? Students apply
techniques of research and technology to
develop a full-length literary criticism
research paper. Students examine literary
models of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th
centuries, coupled with works by contemporary
authors that illustrate the universiality of
cultural, political, and social issues, facing
a democratic society.
