The tenth grade curriculum explores the development of American Literature from its beginnings through Reconstruction. It focuses on themes integral to the American identity including, but not limited to, the spirit of the frontier, the individual and society (What is a citizen?), the search for identity and the American Dream. A number of full-length works will complement the selections from the core text and will include established classics, as well as contemporary classics. In addition, students will continue to develop their writing skills and will be taught the basic principles of research and MLA format.
