Encounters and Foundations to 1800
This first unit covers Native American literature, Puritan literature, slave narratives, and the American Revolutions.
Since the literature of this period is nearly all non-fiction, the readings will time and effort and determination to read. I will help with understanding the texts, but since we are doing distance learning, students must use all the resources they have to understand the texts. I will teach you all those resources for you to use. Studying the foundations of this country will help us understand better what makes us American, find out how far we've come from the beginning of the country, and guide us in creating a better one. |
