0144 British Literature and Composition 12 CSU, UC
This course continues to refine and develop those skills reintroduced and emphasized during the previous years. It surveys a core of British literature to serve as a summation and emphasis of all literary concepts from the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. The course utilizes school-wide electronic portfolios as well as community-based projects. The various activities develop students' research and writing skills, as well as their listening and speaking skills. The literature portion of the class introduces the students to canonical and contemporary British literature, incorporating relevant art, music, and philosophical ideas. This course does give a sense of finality to the scope and sequence of the English curriculum, yet it also fosters a life-long love of literature and learning. (Prereq: Successful completion of Comp/World Lit I and II and either American Literature or American Lit/Comp)/Lang AP.)
