Semester 2 of 2 – Credit Recovery Course: English 3 invites students to discover and analyze a diverse selection of American literature and nonfiction that has been integral to founding and developing the United States as a country. Throughout the course, students will explore pieces from different periods in American history. The course’s fiction pieces consist of poems, short stories, and a novel. Nonfiction texts include essays, speeches, and Supreme Court cases.

As students read the texts in English 3, they will complete corresponding writing and presentation projects, allowing them to demonstrate mastery of the content and skills they are learning. By the end of this course, students will be able to identify the defining characteristics of American literature and explain how it has evolved over time.
