LITERATURE

Teacher:

Description: This course is for ninth and/or tenth graders. The emphasis will be on
analyzing literature and this will be strengthened through word
analysis, vocabulary development, and a focus on reading comprehension.
While reading different pieces of literature, students will look at
character development and the interaction between characters and the
plot. Literary elements, such as figurative language, allegory, and
symbolism will be taught as well as ambiguities, contradictions, and
ironies in the text. The texts used in this course will be checked out
to the students.
