English 10:

Some of the works we will cover:

Short Stories	Sophocles' Theban Trilogy
Of Mice and Men	Lord of the Flies
Cry, the Beloved Country	The Tragedy of Julius Caesar
Poetry

Women & Literature:

Due to insufficient enrollment, Women in Lit is currently on hiatus. We hope it will be back for 06-07.

This American & British Literature-based curriculum exposes students to cultural, social, political, and ethical issues related to women in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. The student will therefore understand and appreciate literature that is distinctly feminine in style and purpose.
