We focus on American Literature and where our New World came into the story of man’s search for meaning. We read and memorize excerpts from important American documents, exploring “The American Dream,” and understanding shifts and generation gaps. How did we become this postmodern world? We will continue to work on narrative, expository, persuasive, and literary essays.
