Dougherty Valley High – Novel
Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester
Students read classic and contemporary novels and study the writing, stylistic, thematic, and artistic elements of the novel as a form of literature. Close reading and essay response to the literature are major components of this course. Course work requires a synthesis of the skills taught through the first three years of the high school English program, emphasizing increasingly sophisticated skills in analysis, discussion, and writing. Novels are often grouped into thematic units of study. The course includes both whole class study and independent reading of novels.
