Outline of 11th Grade English
Welcome to Honors English III! While you might be two years away from college, prep for university started long before now. In this class, we will learn how to identify reliable sources, analyze for methods of persuasion, and utilize those methods in our own writing. American literature also requires us to better understand works by American authors and the culture the text that literature comes from. We be exploring literature from the perspectives of multiple cultures in the U.S. including Native American, African American, Asian American, and other minority groups.
Some of the works we might be reading are listed below. Please take into account that these will be supplemented with informational texts, which will take up a larger section of American Lit.
