Description
World Literature explores literary periods through history, including early literature, epic poetry, Medieval-Renaissance, Enlightenment-Romanticism and the 20th century. The focus of the course is on literature and literary analysis but it also includes argument and persuasion writing, creative writing, and response to literature writing. There is an Anthology for this course that includes full-length works and excerpts. Four other full-length works are also studied.
You can purchase the four novels (The Odyssey; Romeo and Juliet (No Fear Shakespeare); The Little Prince; and Cry, the Beloved Country) and the LLATL World Literature Anthology as part of a complete set with the Course Book and Course Notes/Tests, buy them separately, or source them from a local library.
If you would like to add more assessments to help with grading the course, the Course Notes, Tests and Answers book provides more background literature support as well as tests with answers.
