Description
This level continues to build on the Biblical and literary foundation provided in the 9th grade text. Literary concepts are illustrated with biblical examples and analyzed and applied to key literary selections. Units include Imaginative Comparison, Sound & Syntax, Allusion & Symbol, Irony, Folktale & Epic, Essay & Short Story, Poetry and Drama. The course culminates with Romeo and Juliet. Although we found the selections to be rather depressing in the first edition, the course was updated for 2012 and includes new authors and selections.

Why did you choose this?
We really liked the BJU Fundamentals of Literature, so I am expecting this course to be great as well.
Recommended by a trusted friend & former teacher. We got the entire kit to ensure that our 10th grader gets a well-rounded reading component.
Great Literature study while keeping God in the center.
My daughter chose this because it looked interesting & informational.
