Welcome to English IV: British Literature
This is a theme-related, literature-based, integrated course. The literature is divided into historical periods, beginning with the Anglo-Saxon Period and ending with the Twentieth Century; units within the time periods are thematically arranged. Diverse cultural writings are covered, with attention given to theme-oriented poetry, short stories, drama, essays and nonfiction and selections from full-length works. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of vocabulary, compositions and research skills, which include but are not limited to comprehending, interpreting, analyzing, and evaluating literary and nonliterary works. Grammar/usage and mechanics skills are integrated throughout the semester. Techniques of oral presentation are taught.
