PrescriptiveEnglish 12 (Virtual) Prescriptive

The English 12 (Virtual) course asks students to closely analyze British literature and world literature and consider how wehumans define and interact with the unknown, the monstrous, and the heroic. In the epic poems The Odyssey, Beowulf,and The Inferno, in Shakespeare’s Tempest, in the satire of Swift, and in the rhetoric of World War II, students examine howthe ideas of “heroic” and “monstrous” have been defined across cultures and time periods and how the treatment of the“other” can make monsters or heroes of us all.

Reading Frankenstein and works from those who experienced the imperialism of the British Empire, students explore thenotion of inner monstrosity and consider how the dominant culture can be seen as monstrous in its ostensibly heroic goalof enlightening the world.

Throughout this course, students analyze a wide range of literature, both fiction and nonfiction. They build writing skills bycomposing analytical essays, persuasive essays, personal narratives, and research papers. In order to develop speaking andlistening skills, students participate in discussions and give speeches. Overall, students gain an understanding of the wayBritish and world literature represent the array of voices that contribute to our global identity.
