OVERVIEW OF COURSE: Senior literature is a college-preparation level course, surveying primarily British literature from the Dark Ages through the 21st century in all genres with an additional focus on improving verbal and written skills as well as critical thinking.
Core Expectations:
- Read the text (when and as assigned)
- Annotate and take thoughtful notes (various strategies are taught and are expected to be practiced)
- Think about and be able to discuss (verbally and through writing) major topics, concepts, issues, themes found in the text.
- Be able to support these ideas and claims with specific examples and evidence from the text and from authentic experience.
- Think about and be able to discuss (verbally and through writing) the author's purpose for writing and the craft through which he/she accomplishes this purpose.
- Be able to support these ideas and claims with specific examples and evidence from the text and from authentic experience.
"To raise new questions, new problems, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and makes real advances."
-- Albert Einstein

CHEATING IS NAUGHTY!Please do not cheat. Cheating includes copying someone else's work, giving someone else information or answers, sharing assignment information (that is not meant to be collaborative), allowing someone access to assignment information that is not collaborative, or using another's words or work and presenting them as your own in any way or to any degree (plagiarism). Whether you are cheating or not may be according to the perception of the person evaluating your work - your teacher, a proctor, an administrator - if this person observes any gesture, speech, or writing that appears to suggest that cheating may be involved, you may lose credit for that assignment and more serious consequences (such as detention, referral, failure of the class, failure to graduate) may be assigned. In any case, any incident of suspected or confirmed cheating may appear on your school record. If you are in doubt as to whether or not you might be involved in an activity that constitutes cheating, please ask a teacher or an administrator. Cheating is NOT AN ACCIDENT!
