4 COURSE OVERVIEW English III is a survey of American Literature and literary culture from its inception through the twentieth century. Students will explore the major literary forms, themes, authors, and periods of American Literature. They will understand how this literature represents the experiences of people native to America, those who immigrated to America, and those who were brought to America against their will. Emphasis is placed on a rhetorical analysis of the literature to determine how authors achieve a particular purpose or effect. Through focused readings, composition, speaking and listening activities, vocabulary study and research, students will continue to build the literacy skills they need to meet the challenges of high school and beyond. Curriculum decisions for this course are guided by the Common Core State Standards. These standards were developed to provide clear and consistent goals for student learning and to ensure that students have the skills they need to be successful beyond high school. These standards define what students need to know and be able to do by the end of each grade. In additional to defining grade-level skills, the ELA standards require that students be exposed to increasingly more complex texts to which they apply those skills. In order for curriculum to align to these standards, it must be both rigorous and relevant. It must also expose students to certain critical content. In English language arts, that content includes classic myths and stories from around the world, America s Founding Documents, Foundational American literature, and Shakespeare. English III students will continue their climb up this staircase of skills through their study of the following units: Unit 1: Intersection in a New World: The focus of this unit will be on the earliest American literature. Students will read first-hand accounts of the dreams and the challenges the first settlers in the New World faced. They will read fiery Puritan sermons and the cultured poetry of a young slave. The reading will highlight the intersection, and resulting conflicts, of Native American, European, and African American cultures as well as establish some of the themes that will appear in the literature of America for centuries to come. Unit 2: Becoming a Nation: The focus of this unit will be on the historic and literary significance of documents relating to the establishment of the new government in America as well as on some of the poetry and prose of the period. Students will compare and contrast points of view presented on related issues. They will also compare and contrast the tone used in foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They will use what they learn about the qualities of an effective argument to create one of their own. Unit 3: American Romanticism: This unit will focus on the romantic literature that dominated America during the first part of the nineteenth century. Students will explore how the romantics revolted against the "cog in the wheel" philosophy of the eighteenth century and instead celebrated intuition, spontaneity, subjectivity, nature and, above all, individuality. They will compare the different aspects of American romanticism by examining the Gothic tales of writers like Poe and Hawthorne as well as the transcendental explorations of writers like Emerson and Thoreau. The slave narrative, a sub-genre of romanticism, will provide students with a glimpse into the protest and struggle for identity these Americans faced. Unit 5: Regional Voices: In this unit, students will continue to explore the theme of individualism, expanding their idea of what that looked for all Americans in the nineteenth century. They will look at the issues of racism, slavery, inequality and displacement through the words of those who experienced these issues first hand and those who worked to make America a more tolerant nation. They will also explore the theme of regionalism and examine how fictional characters in the works of writers like Twain and Jewett express the challenges facing America in this period. Unit 6: American Modernism: This unit explores American literature from the beginning of the 20th century through the Great Depression. Students will be introduced to the characteristics that define literature as modern and analyze those characteristics in poetry, fiction and drama. Because the movement is complex, the unit is subdivided into categories allowing for a more focused analysis of the different aspects of modernism and its writers. Unit 7: Post WW II: This unit focuses on the literature that followed the Second World War and takes students up to what is known as the postmodern period in literature. Like the previous unit, this final unit is divided into sub-categories. Students will read representative works from the abundance of southern literature. The unit also includes a number of selections from the 1960s that mirror this turbulent decade's struggle with issues similar to ones we face today Glynlyon, Inc.
