This course introduces high school students to some of the most important authors and poets of the 20th century. While studying novels, short stories and poetry, students will explore ideas, controversies, events, and the cast of characters that molded the past century and are shaping the first decades of our own century. Students will respond to the literature they read through various creative writing and dialectic activities.
While the course focuses on literature, it also integrates some study of 20th Century History, helping students to see the integration of both history and literature as a means to more fully understanding and engaging our world.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
