English 12
Syllabus
Mrs. Baker and
Ms. Lotito 2011-2012
Goals and
Objectives:
English 12
is designed to introduce students to British
Literature and provide a foundation for the
next level of higher learning. Students will
continue their development of literary
analysis while strengthening their basic
reading and writing skills. To achieve
development of reading and writing, students
will complete independent readings during
the course of the year. Students are
required to read one independent novel or
play each quarter and complete a written
analysis of the said novel.
During class, students will complete a
curriculum based on the British history’s
influence on literature from the Anglo-Saxon
period through the Modern period while
practicing skills geared toward achieving
the goals of the NYS English Language Arts
standards.
