Purpose of Course
 * English III, American Literature, explores the literature of America from the narratives of the early colonists to the foundational documents of our forefathers, and the literature of our modern times. In English III, the learner will explore and master the various literary periods throughout American history. In doing so, he/she will affirm the ability to analyze different genres and styles of notable American authors. As the learner progresses through the course, he/she will gain an appreciation for American literature and an understanding of how the literature of the day acted as a reflection of the historical period from which it evolved. This course will also provide the opportunity to develop and enrich writing skills, through skill development in the characteristics of effective writing for a variety of different purposes and audiences. Learners in the course will also engage in a collaborative service-learning project. **

Students in this course will engage in the careful reading and critical analysis of American literature. Through the close reading of selected texts, students should deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure to their readers. As they read, students should consider a work's structure, style, and themes as well as such smaller-scale elements as the use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone.

 Students in English III read, discuss, and write about both early colonial through modern, 21st century American literature, as well as the influence of British literature through the study of William Shakespeare, through which students will identify cultural significance. They will examine pieces of global literature in a cultural context to appreciate the diversity and complexity of world issues and to connect global ideas to their own experiences. Students will continue to explore language for expressive, informational/explanatory, critical, argumentative and literary purposes, although emphasis will be placed on explanatory contexts. In addition to literature study, students will:
 * Examine non-literary texts related to cultural studies.
 * Research material to use primarily in clarifying their own explanatory responses to situations and literary-based issues.
 * Engage in project-based learning to connect to global issues and create of sense of self through experiential learning
 * Establish community connections and global awareness through service-based learning and activities
 * Critically interpret and evaluate experiences, literature, language, and ideas.
 * Use standard grammatical conventions and select features of language appropriate to purpose, audience, and context of the work.


 * Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to: **
 * **Identify notable periods of American literature and their general characteristics. **
 * **<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Describe the genres and stylistic techniques employed by notable authors throughout American history. **

<span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;">Unit One (Approximately 2-3 Weeks) //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Life in the colonial times was challenging and exciting. Early American writers have provided contributions, in terms of print and non-print, fiction and non-fiction/informational text, to provide insight, entertain and inform of the kinds of lives early Americans lived. In order to understand the literature that they produced, you must first have an understanding of their world, which was very different from our modern-day society. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Although they may not have thought of themselves as authors, early colonial writers made important contributions to the foundation of American literature by documenting historical information. Without these early writings, history would not have a clear picture of what life was like for colonial Americans. This unit focuses on the earliest American authors. // <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The study of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter, and Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, reveal that the Puritans lived under very strict religious guidelines. As Americans learned more about science, however, they began to question their long-held religious beliefs. During this period, called the Age of Reason and Enlightenment, many writers and scholars began to entertain the idea that God played less of a direct role in the everyday lives of humans, though few of them declared themselves atheists. //

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The prior unit revealed American foundational documents. This analysis provoked the argument that written expression could be as damaging as any fight and, in fact, contributed to the early colonies’ independence from Great Britain. With this newfound freedom came the need for national identity and independence. As such, colonists sought to make a name for themselves in the worlds of art and culture, including literature. As writers sought to distinguish themselves from their British counterparts, some of the first great American literary works were born. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">After the Revolutionary War, the United States gradually developed a separate cultural identity from Great Britain. In this sub-unit, texts are explored from what are considered the first generation of great American writers. James Fenimore Cooper and Washington Irving set their works in the United States and were responsible for creating and crystallizing ideas about American culture and landscape that remain common in American literature and imagination to this day. // <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Upon successful completion of this unit, the learner will be able to: <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Standards Addressed (//Common Core//):

This period is American literature marked the movement away from predestination and toward a feeling that man was involved in his outcome. This movement, attributed in large part to the publication of Emerson's essay "Nature" called for man to raise awareness of self and sparked a literary movement.

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The last unit revealed that transcendentalists believed that humans are all part of the divine soul and as such, are inherently good. Not everyone agreed, however. In fact, the dark romantics were aware of the evil in the world, and in themselves, and sought to make sense of it through their literature. This sub-genre in American literature brought about some of the most suspenseful and entertaining works the world had yet to see. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This unit explores the dark and melancholy worlds of Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allen Poe. Their works chilled readers and successfully defined a literary sub-genre, called both dark romanticism and Gothicism. Dickinson’s poems and Poe’s short stories, reveal both a unified darkness and a diverse approach to literary devices, tools, and techniques used to create such haunting and suspenseful reads. // <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Upon successful completion of this unit, the learner will be able to:

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The study of American literature reveals the literature of those individuals with the freedom to express them openly; sadly this was not equitable. The Civil War and Women’s Suffrage Movement indicated a shift in society that was reflected in the literature of the period. It is in this study that the personal history of the author continues its thematic view in the author’s work. This transitional period, as with those of the past, would finally open the country’s ears to the voices of those who had been marginalized for so long. In this unit, thematic message will move to prominence as powerful voices from the past and their impressive contributions are honored for the contributions to awareness and personal freedoms enjoyed today. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As evidenced in the last unit, the Civil War had a huge impact on the literature of the time. Prior to the war, readers had the luxury of entertaining fantasy and romantic notions. The war brought them back to reality, and the literature of the day followed suit. In order to understand the literature of this period in context, you need to have a cursory understanding of this unfortunate time period in American history. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Civil War period in American history was a somber and volatile time.

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Despite the belief in meritocracy, that hard work pays off, also known as the American Dream, all men and women were still not recognized as free and equal. The United States was actually poised to experience two setbacks of epic proportions: World War I and the Great Depression. With the nation’s morale and the economy on the brink of demise, the promise of a equality and opportunity were not always realized. This sentiment was expressed in modern literature in a variety of ways, both overtly and covertly, or obviously and hidden. This unit, will explore the ideas of notable modernist authors as well as the literary techniques they employed to express them. //

 * <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Exploring Freedom: The Modern Era **

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Having emerged from what some considered a barbaric time of slavery, suppression, and war, Americans now wanted to break free from the past. In order to do so, they embraced industry and technology in an effort to create a brighter future. Still, many of the values of the past generations became lost in this attempt to move away from times gone by. Thus, the modern era represents a time of experimentation. Like most experiments, there were successes and there were failures. //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Link:

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As Americans experimented with different ways of living and viewing the world, poets also experimented with different forms of expressing themselves. This resulted in one of the most vibrant periods of poetic expression in our nation’s history. // <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to: <span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Standards Addressed (//Common Core//):

//<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">While World War I and the tough economic times disenchanted many Americans, others were embracing their newly found freedom. As African American art, literature, and music flourished, America would experience what was called the Harlem Renaissance. This unit, will explore the literature that emerged from this rebirth. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Although slavery was abolished in 1865, it took decades before former slaves felt truly free to express themselves. A major milestone in the development of African American art and culture was the Harlem Renaissance. The term “Renaissance” is French for “rebirth.” As you’ll learn in this sub-unit, the key players in this movement sought to redefine the African American community as one that offered society beautiful art, music, and poetry. // //<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The literature of the Harlem Renaissance is truly unique in both its themes and tones. While it often depicted the continued struggles of African Americans to be respected in society, it also resonated with the hopes, dreams, and determination of a newly liberated people. //

 * Course Grading Criteria **


 * Assessments: **

Assessments will include written, multiple choice, performance, formal and informal assessments and will be used as an objective measurement of the learning outcome. This allows reflection on what needs to be retaught and/or when curriculum compacting can occur to avoid repetition of mastered material. Assessments will be personalized as self-reflection, student-generated rubrics, group projects to offer assessment capable learners opportunities to thrive. Formative assessments will drive instruction and performance assessments will combine with authentic assessment and learning opportunities to prepare students. Benchmark assessments and partnered reflection/formative planning with drive outcomes. Performance based learning will extend our purpose and enrich the plan which is always to benefit the learner and the learning community. //**Mondays will be reserved for major tests**// that require advance preparation by students.
