We will read the texts carefully, but we will also consider their religious, political, and cultural contexts. We will do so through in-class activities, independent reading assignments and the completion of a research project. We will also explore some themes that seem to reoccur throughout the American experience. Many of these themes you may already be familiar with, such as the importance of friendship, the complexities of love, the personal struggles inherent in the practice of religious beliefs, and the American Dream. In our syllabus, the texts that we will be reading include Millers The Crucible, Salingers The Catcher in the Rye, Cranes The Red Badge of Courage, Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby, and two novels by John Steinbeck (Cannery Row and The Grapes of Wrath). We will also explore numerous short stories by the likes of Twain, Hemingway, Irving, Jackson, Poe and Bierce, to name a few. As this is also a writing class, we will be doing numerous written projects and activities to enhance and advance our own skills as writers. An emphasis will be placed on preparations for the SAT Exam and in particular, expanding our vocabulary skills in that regard. Goals and Objectives to familiarize students with some significant and culturally diverse examples, both canonical and noncanonical, of American Literature to introduce students to some of the major literary genres and modes employed by writers of American Literature to provide students with the opportunity to examine some recurring themes in American Literature to help students understand the relevance of the literature of the past to our modern world to give students practice in analyzing, discussing, and writing about that literature By the end of the course, you should also be able to: correctly format and write at least two scholarly works following the guidelines of the Modern Language Association analyze and develop your own interpretations of literary works use appropriate examples from literary texts to illustrate and support your views compare different texts and articulate meaningful connections between them continue to explore and enjoy new texts on your own. Required Materials: You will need an English notebook. Spiral notebooks are fine, provided you have some way of organizing handouts, class notes, and written work that has already been graded. A preferable method of organizing these materials is in a three-ring binder. You will need a separate folder/section of your binder as a place to keep small in-class writing assignments (journals). Please hold these journals, since we use them from time to time to build future writing assignments upon. Please turn in written work on white paper, written in either black ink or blue ink. Finally, PLEASE bring a pen or other writing utensil to class each day. I do not have an inexhaustible supply of pens to supply. I am asking that you purchase your own copy of the novel, The Grapes of Wrath. The foremost reason is that CHS is short-handed in supply of this title. However, the novel is substantial enough that it would be a good idea for you to have your own copy to annotate, as we discuss the novel. If purchasing your own copy creates a hardship, see me and I will still make certain that you have access to a copy. You will not need this until Semester 2, so you have plenty of time to order a copy on Amazon, or visit a bookstore such as Books a Million. Attendance/Tardy Policy: You are expected to attend class regularly, and be on time. Much of what we do in class (group work, discussions, etc.) cannot be made up easily. Because of this, excessive absences will almost certainly result in a lower course grade. For excessive absences, the policy of the district (not mine) calls for all absences to be considered unexcused unless explained by a parent/guardian within two (2) school days after the students return to school. For my class, tardy means this: You must be through the threshold of the door to my classroom before the start of the bell. If you arrive late to class without a written excuse, you will be considered tardy. If you are tardy to class, DO NOT ask to leave the room for any other reason. You may NOT leave to get an excuseFor example, if a teacher keeps you late, let them know that you need a pass to get into my class. You get two freebies, for which you will get by with a verbal warning. Each subsequent tardy will be subject to discipline through the deans office. Grading: Your grade in this course will be based upon your performance in class work, projects, tests and quizzes, as well as in-class participation (discussions, activities). The grading scale is as follows: 90%-100% A 80%-89% B 70%-79% C 60%-69% D below 60% F Semsster grades follow the ϲͼ High School grading matrix: Qtr 135% Qtr 235% Exam30% Make-Up Work: Each day when you arrive to class, the work for that day will be posted. If you are EVER absent, you can access my Schoolwires website through the CHS webpage. It is YOUR responsibility to check the website and request any make-up work that you need. If you do not know how to access my Schoolwires website, please see me. The make-up policy for this course follows the guidelines set up by ϲͼ. These guidelines are in the Code of Student Conduct that you received on the first days of school. Late Work: If you hand in work late, the assignment will receive 10% off, per day that the assignment is late. Food/Snacks: The rule is simpleno food or snacks allowedperiod. The only beverage you are allowed to bring is water. Make it easy for both you and me and dont bring food to class. Seating Arrangement: I plan to follow an assigned seating chart in this class. Please sit in the seat assigned to you. Hall Passes: Please take care of bathroom and water fountain needs prior to coming to class. You need to stay here until the class period ends. I will only allow students leave if it is a dire emergency. You will need a hall pass. One person out at a time. Please do not ask me if you can leave the room during the last 10 minutes of the period. Classroom Behavior Expectations: I believe in being fair. You can expect fair treatment from me, but in return, I expect the same from you. In my opinion, as juniors at Charlotte High School, you should already know how to conduct yourselves in the classroom. With this in mind, my policies are simple. They are: Come to class with a great attitude, and be ready to learn. Respect others. Treat them the way you would like to be treated. Be on time for class and have all books and materials with you. Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak. Listen while others are speaking, and dont interrupt. No cursing or profanity in the classroom. PLEASE, dont line up at the door at the end of class. Remain in your seats until the dismissal bell rings. Have fun, enjoy this class, and lets try to make your Junior year your best yet!
