- Description
-
Instruction in British Literature and Composition introduces students to the work of significant British authors and literary periods. Analysis of key novels, poetry, short stories, works of non-fiction and drama encourages students to develop comprehension and critical thinking skills. Students develop writing skills, both academic and creative, through pre-writing, drafting and editing. In particular, students must hone the persuasive essay — the core academic form of written communication. Additionally students conduct self guided research building their ability to weigh evidence, interpret logically and argue persuasively. Major goals of this course include expanding students’ understanding of Western Civilization while enhancing communication skills. Ideally British Literature and Composition envelops students in the history of the English language, preparing them to explore further how America adapts that language and literature and how this language and literature interacts with others in the world.
