South American Literature is a semester-long survey course of modern writers from Central and South America. Students will read short stories, novellas, and poetry in a variety of genres. Writing assignments will include research, personal response, an article for the school’s journalistic blog, and selection of an artistic piece for the senior class’s literary magazine (the Eagle’s Eye).

As this is a college preparatory course, the demands on students to think, read extensively, and write are considerable. This class meets the needs of students who do not pass the CLEP or AP Language tests.
