Am+Lit+10A


 * Welcome to American Lit!**

Course Description: This is a year-long survey course designed to acquaint students with American writings from early America to the present. Many genres of literature are read in each historical period and students are expected to write literary analysis papers each semester. Also, students will be required to deliver at least one formal speech each semester.

Semester One: Starting with the early history of America we will explore important and influential pieces of writing that helped shape the foundation of our country and culture. We will continue through the development of the United States by examining the earliest storytellers. We wrap up the semester by looking at slave narratives and the transcendentalists.
