A Synopsis of English II CP:  (In my own words...)

The primary focus of this class is concentrated on the 'building blocks' of the literature that we read today.  We will focus on how this literature has grown throughout time and the major influences that have affected its development.  We will start from as early as Native American Myths all the way to present day Modernism Short Stories and Poetry.  We will also spend time on building our vocabulary and grammar skills along the way.  Writing will fill in our remaining time, with at least one major essay and rewrite per marking period. 

Major Works Read This Year:

Adventures in American Literature  (Anthology of Major American Writers)
