This course is a survey of some of the broad historical themes and evolutionary trends in the history of the United States as examined through specific events and the lens of American literature. The first semester covers earlier literature and events through the 19th century. The second semester’s primary focus will be the 20th century. The goal of this course is to help students develop an understanding of American History and how that history presents itself through historical documents and American Literature. Students will analyze primary source documents, novels, short stories, and poetry in order to develop a firm grasp of the American narrative. Students will be challenged to elevate their reading and writing skills through the creation of multiple essays in which they will use various research techniques, peer evaluation, and teacher-guided discussions.
