English 332
English fills a study of
American literature and a continuation of grammar, composition and vocabulary.
In the area of American Literature,
the student will study a chronological representation of American writing. The
techniques used in this study are reading comprehension, class discussion, and
analysis. History and societal
issues will be included so that the student may obtain an understanding of the
issues that shaped our written heritage. Literary
genres such as Romanticism and Realism will be covered fully. During
the course of study, literary and poetic devices and terms will be reviewed and
enhanced so that every student will be presented with skills that will enable
him/her to interpret and enjoy the various forms of American Literature.
Grammar in this class will involve
review of what has been learned and enhancement of skills so that new aspects of
grammar and usage can be understood. These
skills will be mastered through oral and written study and practice.
The study of composition will begin
with discussion and practice. Main
parts such as thesis statements will be broken down and studied.
By the end of the year, all four divisions of composition will have been
discussed and practiced. Writing
assignments will usually focus on some aspect of literature.
A research paper will be required, serving to enhance the student’s
ability to research, plan, organize, and take direction.
Vocabulary will involve curriculum
based terms. The student will use
the text to look up and define words used within the context of the literature
being studied.
