Second Semester English III
During second semester of English III, a junior-level English course, we will primarily focus on literature from the British canon. We will read short stories, dramas, and poetry from Old English all the way up to current pieces of literature. We will also be exploring different career opportunities throughout the class by interviewing people in perspective careers and researching what it takes to succeed in your potential career paths. The course will teach students the different varieties of writing whether it be creative or more technical.
