Students examine principally British Literature and prepare for the challenges of college writing with preparations in literary analysis, critical thinking, and research. Studies from diverse voices focus on Asian-American literature. Students build upon grammar and usage skills and continue to study vocabulary in literary context. Theological integration occurs during the analysis of literary themes. Students place works in historical context and grow in their understanding of literary forms such as the epic, satire, persuasion, and poetic forms with an emphasis on biblical principles. Students demonstrate leadership in discussions and classroom presentations and produce a Literary Research Paper. Summer reading forms the basis of graded work.
