American Literature

  

This year we will be looking at the Literature of America.  We will see the influence of the Native Americans, the Pilgrims, the Revolutionaries, the Slaves and the free.  Our journey will take us through the history of the United States from its birth to modern day.  One of our main focuses will be to see how the problems we face today are not so different from the problems our forefathers encountered.  Hopefully you will learn a bit more about the history of our nation through the literature of the people.

 

 

To access the Regents on-line go to the link for Regents Exams at the bottom of this page, click on the link and then click on Comprehensive exam, then Session 2.  If you navigate through this site you will find several Regents for practice & also samples of graded essays to see how you are doing. (I will talk about this in class also)
