American Literature (Excellence in Literature, English 3) cultivates competent readers and writers in a self-directed, classics-focused, one year, college-prep literature and composition course for co-op, classroom, or homeschool use. The award-winning Excellence in Literature curriculum, suitable for grades 8-12, presents a feast of great ideas by immersing students in great literature. Classics that have stood the test of time-rollicking adventures, compelling plays, engaging poetry-encourage students to enjoy literature study, rather than just endure it. Students will study and write about the following books: Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving and selected works by Longfellow The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne Moby Dick by Herman Melville The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway How it works A four-week lesson plan guides the study of each unabridged classic, providing writing assignments and context resources - information on the author, relevant historical events, related art and music resources, etc.. To help students stay engaged, a variety of sources, voices, and formats have been carefully chosen as context resources, with links provided to those that are online. There are 9 4-week modules in each study guide for one school year of study. An optional Honors track adds additional reading and writing, including a research paper and an optional CLEP exam. The text is written directly to the student, and can be used independently or in a classroom. There is no separate teacher manual; all writing assignments, context resource links, and student/teacher helps are included in the Introduction to Literature study guide. Student helps - Week-by-week assignment schedule - Instructions and a student-written model for each type of paper assigned - A chapter on how to read and understand challenging literature - Overview of how to write an essay, from conception to revision - A curriculum website with supporting resources, including author biographies, art, music, related poetry, and writing helps. - Built-in time for both a rough and a final draft of each month's essay - Instructions for setting up a study area, English notebook, and study habits - A model essay that teaches and demonstrates MLA formatting - Glossary of literary terms Teacher helps - Week-by-week pacing chart with overview of reading and writing for the entire school year - Grading instructions and reproducible rubric - Suggestions for using in a co-op or classroom - A year-end Student Evaluation Summary to keep with student records Each student and teacher will need a copy of the study guide, plus a copy of each classic that is studied (short stories are linked online). There are specific book editions recommended, but students who already own a different edition may use that. It is also helpful to have access to a dictionary, thesaurus, and the Handbook for Writers (from Excellence in Literature).

Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories, particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme--With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is full of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices--but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

No Living American Writing In A Critical Sense From Now On Will Be Able To Ignore Him.'Lawrence Asserted That 'The Proper Function Of A Critic Is To Save The Tale From The Artist Who Created It' In These Highly Individual, Penetrating Essays He Has Exposed 'The American Whole Soul' Within Some Of That Continent'S Major Works Of Literature.

Excerpt from Sagas of the Seas: By American Writers Mr. French pays no attention to those who hold that this or that man must necessarily write well of the sea because he has made his living off it. Doubtless he learned early what many others have learned; which is, that a sailorman is as likely to write dull stories of the sea as a ribbon sales man is to write dull stories of department store life; and so, he takes what he wants where he finds it.

Excerpt from Great American Writers Brown's career was a natural resultant of his temperament and of the times in which he lived. Born in Philadelphia on January 17, 1772, he was close to the American Revolu tion, and for most Of his short life he must have moved in an atmosphere conducive to radical thinking and public service. That his parents were of Quaker descent accounts for some Of the quiet of his home; but he was a delicate, thoughtful boy by nature. When his parents wished to walk out on an errand, it was enough to leave him with a book; and he was known to study the map on the wall with such interest as to forget the dinner hour.
