Montclair Public Schools: Academic Office/2015 Montclair High School Course Syllabus Department: English Course: Women in Literature Level: Honors Credits: 2.5 (One-Semester) Course Description: Women’s Literature is a one-semester Patterns course that introduces 11 th and 12 th grade students to the history, traditions, and forms of literature written by women in English. We will examine the effects of gender on literature and consider how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation and other factors in shaping identity. We will also consider the multiple ways women writers have responded to being silenced throughout history. We will explore a rich and diverse range of writers and works to identify the recurrent images, themes, and styles of an evolving cannon. Works of poetry, prose, drama, non-fiction, and film will be studied. This course is divided into three units: Gender and Identity, Voice and Silence, and Images and Roles. Standards: RL.11-12.1/11-12.2/11-12.3/11-12.4/11-12.5/11-12.6/11-12.7/11-12.9 RI.11-12.1/11-12.2/11-12.3/11-12.5/11-12.6/ W.11-12.1/11-12.2/11-12.4/11-12.5/11-12.6/11-12.7/11-12.8/11-12.9/11-12.10 SL.11-12.1/11-12.2/11-12.3/11-12.4/11-12.5/11-12.6 L.11-12.1/11-12.2/11-12.3/11-12.4/11-12.5/11-12.6 Text and Course Materials: • You will need a three-ring binder with loose-leaf paper and/or a notebook, and several pens or pencils for this class. • We will also use Blackboard and Google Classroom for this course; students should have technology waivers handed in and @MPSD accounts individually assigned to them. • Throughout the semester we will be working with a wide variety of materials.
