1 Honors American Literature Course Guide Ms. Haskins Course Description: Honors American Literature is a full year course designed for talented English students. The first semester surveys American literature from the colonial period through 1865; it includes selections from the anthology and a minimum of three complete works of literature. The second semester continues to survey American literature from 1865 through the present, including selections from the anthology and a minimum of three complete works of literature. Writing experiences are linked to the literature read and focus on literary analysis and development of compositions skills. Research is required for this course and will be completed first semester. The second semester includes ACT review. Classroom Expectations: 1. Treat your classmates, classroom, teacher, and yourself with RESPECT. Take pride in your school and your work. 2. Arrive to class on time. If you are not, you will be counted tardy. In accordance with EHS policy, three tardies will result in an after-school detention. 3. Use the restroom during passing periods. 4. Complete all assignments and readings on time and bring all materials to class each day. 5. Academic Integrity Late Work: You are expected to turn in homework when it is due. I will accept late work for 50% credit up to 2 days late. After 2 days, no credit will be awarded. Absences: If you are excused absent, you have 2 days for each day absent to turn in work for full credit. If you are unexcused, you will receive 50% credit if the work is turned in the day you return.
