Honors British Literature

This course provides the college-bound student rigorous instruction in the major British literary works of the Anglo-Saxon, Medieval, Renaissance periods, the Age of Reason, the Eighteenth Century, Romantic and Victorian eras, and the Twentieth Century by examining the historical and cultural periods of each era. Students are required to complete a summer reading assignment prior to class. Throughout the year they will complete a research paper in poetry, critical essays, creative projects, and review for the AP English exams. Group work and class discussion form the foundation for understanding.
