Rainier Beach High School – LA 11A and B

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is a survey of American Literature, but it also seeks to represent the diverse perspectives and voices of what it is to be 'American.' Attention is paid to representing both minority and women writers. Varieties of texts, including novels, plays, non-fiction and poetry seek to expose students to historical and literary time periods while approaching these from a relevant perspective. Intensive writing exercises aim to allow students to respond, evaluate, analyze and apply new skills and information.
