English 3 Honors is an advanced course that examines works of American writers from the seventeenth century to the present, introducing students to a wide range of works that give voice to diverse perspectives on being American. Students will study literary and artistic movements, such as classicism, romanticism, naturalism, modernism, and postmodernism. This course also includes intensive work on composition, including college essay style narratives, literary analysis, and other expository forms.
