Welcome to your journey into American Literature. Throughout the year we will be exploring a variety of material in order to gain insight and understanding of the American Literary Tradition. You will experience enriching, challenging, thought-provoking, and fun experiences that will allow you to excel and take advantage of your abilities. We will also provide numerous activities throughout the year to prepare for the Common Core English Regents in June. This information is presented to avoid any future problems or misunderstandings--not to frighten you, but to increase your awareness of your responsibilities.
