Honors English III & CyberEnglish Honors English III is a challenging, focused study of American Literature. We examine literary theory, movements and practice more closely than the College Preparatory level class. Take a look below for more details. I highly suggest personal copies of each book that we read during the year. This allows you to write in your copy, highlight, make notes, and become actively involved with the reading. Here is a tentative booklist for the year. Consequently, many of our topics will require significant additional investigation outside of class. Below are some resources that may help us in our research: Literary Movements – a very informative site that enumerates the major aspects of each movement as well as the themes, writers and works that portray them American Literature - a complete site with dozens of links and information on American Literature Outline of American Literature - another easy-to-use resource Dictionary - for etymologies and specific definitions Vocabulary words that might prove difficult in the year's reading and SAT's Cheap books - get your own copies to write in and mark up; the only way to read!
