Class Description:
British Literature and Composition is a
survey of British literature. Emphasis is
placed upon the significant literary works and
styles of each era. The lives of writers and
the historical backgrounds of literary periods
are also studied, as well as the history of the
English language. Much time is given to the
improvement of student composition through
expository and persuasive writing, as well as
analytical essays. The students’ vocabulary is
enriched through applied literary study,
emphasizing understanding of word meanings
rather than rote memorization of definitions.
In addition, language study is targeted
through the review of grammar, usage, and
mechanics and their application to the writing
process. (This is a college preparatory
course. The course work given and teacher
expectations are commensurate with the precollege
level.)
