Students read and analyze literature within a thematic context and write compositions based on the readings. Students read literature from a variety of genres including novels, short stories, poetry, drama and non-fiction. Major pieces of literature students read and analyze include Romeo and Juliet, and portions of the Odyssey. Other literary options include Speak, Lord of the Flies, and Ender’s Game. Students write in a variety of formats: argumentative, narrative, and literary analysis. Students are introduced to the research process.
