Dear 11th Grade Students,

Congratulations! You have made it through American Literature. Now you are ready to broaden your horizons and travel the globe. We will explore literature from various cultures, delving into the layers to find deeper meaning, to compare and contrast texts, and most importantly, to apply what you have learned to your own search for self-knowledge. In our quest, we will analyze and ask ourselves many questions: //What makes someone a hero/heroine? What themes and motifs resonate across cultures? What is more important: civil obedience or moral code?// Together, we will strive to answer those questions and many others. Our journey will be one of remarkable depth as we learn more about the world in which you are expected to enter and flourish.

As we move through the course, I will offer you a number of resources to support your growth. Specifically, this wiki space will be invaluable to you in terms of accessing daily class work objectives, homework assignments, documents, website links and so forth. Use the links below to navigate and find what you need. If at any time, you would like additional help from me, please do not hesitate to ask! You can contact me via email and through appointments (I teach at the middle-school during the morning hours so I need advance notice to meet with you, but I am happy to do so!)

Let’s have some fun! Best wishes for a great year! Mrs. Connelly
