| Description: | Through the voices of a diverse group of authors, thinkers, and prominent political and cultural figures, British Literature surveys the history of the English language from the Old English period through the contemporary writers of today. Through the careful study of poetry, prose, essay, drama, and other literary genres, students refine the skills of critical thinking and rhetoric with thought- provoking writing and research assignments. By using lively websites and integrating comparative elements across theme, historical period and interpretive medium, students receive a dynamic multimedia approach to the study of literature. This course meets state standards and is based on the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) standards. College Prep |
