Red Comet is introducing several new high school courses in the subject area of English & Language Arts. For the 2017-18 school year, students may enroll in the courses American Literature I & II.
In American Literature I, students survey literature from the beginnings through 1865. American Literature II continues the study of important literature in American heritage after the Civil War and until the present day.
These two courses expose students to sermons and essays to short stories, poems, and novels, the Modernist Period, Harlem Renaissance and the Lost Generation. Students will learn about the periods of Realism and Naturalism and study literary devices, such as setting, irony, tall tales, and social themes. By the end of these courses, students would have read the works of many of America’s greats including Anne Bradstreet, Jonathan Edwards, Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson and more. Red Comet’s courses in American Literature will help students gain an understanding and appreciation for the variety and richness of works produced during several periods by various American authors.
