      This class will work with a variety of literature and nonfiction in alignment with Common Core State Standards. We will work with American and international works throughout the year. Students will be expected to participate during in-class discussions after reading (or watching) assigned selections. Be ready to discuss themes within each selection as well as how different themes translate across different units.
       Critical thinking and analysis will be heavy focuses in alignment with Common Core State Standards. Students will work in groups and individually to analyze various works. Students will also build organizational and writing skills throughout the year.
       Essays and exams will be used to determine understanding throughout each unit. Projects will also be assignment throughout the year.
