American Literature provides students an opportunity to read and discuss selections from our literary past and to reflect and write about them from a Biblical point of view. It also provides a Christian framework for interpreting works they will read in the future. The Modern Writers Students will be expected to think critically and to express their thoughts through written assignments and classroom discussions as well as on tests and quizzes. Assignments will be given daily. Assignments are to be neatly done on lined paper.
Students are responsible for making up all uncompleted assignments, quizzes and tests.
Assignments not made up will receive zero grades. The student will have a working knowledge of the American literature. The student will be able to fit his or her knowledge of American literature into the broader scope of who he or she is as a Christian. The student will appreciate language as a gift from God. The student will reach the goals of the class through a variety of methods.
