English IV - 8th period-Asma

Welcome to English 4: World Literature! We are so excited to learn with you this year. We have two main goals for the course: We will learn, share, and practice skills for surviving under capitalism. We will explore what it means to live fully, joyfully, and wholly. We will prepare for college, careers, and life by developing our reading, writing, language, and speaking skills. Together will we explore questions like: What does it mean to be a human? How do people build a better society? How do time and place affect our identities? How do we communicate with others? What do we imagine for our individual and collective future? We will read texts from many different times and places around the world. We are committed to selecting texts that show a range of perspectives, focusing on non-dominant narratives that show the complexity of human life. This course will be shaped in large part by the topics you want to explore through these texts, and we will co-construct knowledge together as we read, write, and discuss.
