American Literature is a novel-based course focused on various contemporary periods from the 20th and 21st centuries.  Students will analyze novels within historical and contemporary contexts.  The course is designed to prepare students for college-level expectations; PSSA-based skills as well as elevated analysis and writing will be developed throughout the course.  Units will also be supplemented with a variety of selected poems, short stories, and non-fiction articles to provide a wide view of the American perspective over time.
