Honors English 10 Honors
The goal is to provide students with a contextual framework for the study of literature by introducing students to significant literary works that also serve to reveal the world view of the four major
epochs in Western and World Civilization. This foundation will allow students to have a reference when teachers address contextual elements, such as the influence of literary movements, in the
thematic units taught in American Literature, World Literature, AP English Language, and AP English Literature. These works could also serve as the content outcome element of the Common Final.
The four units could be implemented (assuming one unit per “quarter”) over a one year or two year period.
