English III Course Description

Students practice all forms of writing in this course. An emphasis is placed on business forms of writing such as the report, the business memo, the narrative of a procedure, the summary or abstract, and the resume. English 3 students read extensively in multiple genres from American literature. Periods from American literature may include the pre-colonial period, colonial and revolutionary periods, romanticism and idealism, realism and naturalism, early 20^th century, and late 20^th century. Students learn literary forms and terms associated with selections being read. Students interpret the possible influences of the historical context on a literary work.

GT/Honors English III Course Description

This course is designed to help students become skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and rhetorical contexts and to become skilled writers who can compose for a variety of purposes. Through their writing and reading in this course, students should become aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effective writing. A research paper is required. Advanced English 3 students are expected to read independently in multiple genres from American literature. Periods from American literature may include the pre-colonial period, colonial and revolutionary periods, romanticism and idealism, realism and naturalism, early 20^th century, and late 20^th century.
