𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 In "America Uncensored: High School U.S. Literature," students will read oral literature, diary entries, essays, poetry, letters, autobiography, novels, and more while analyzing works through decolonial, anti-racist, feminist, queer, and historical lenses. We'll read some from within the traditional American literary canon and question why these works are included and if they should be included. We'll also reach outside the canon to bring in the diverse experiences of Americans of other races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, classes, and national origins. We'll interrogate the reading selections of the course and ask which Americans are over-represented and which Americans are underrepresented. We'll look for ways as a cohort of learners to bring those underrepresented Americans' voices into our course. Part 1 of "American Uncensored: High School U.S. Literature" covers the Indigenous nations through Reconstruction and is offered in the fall semester (August through December). Part 2 begins with Reconstruction and continues to the present and is offered in the spring semester (January through May). Each part is 16 weeks with 45-minute twice weekly meetings. The course includes lecture, discussion, slides, video clips, and audio clips. Learners should complete assigned reading and journal entries before class to be prepared for the discussion. Homework includes reading assignments, twice-weekly journal entries, and twelve essays throughout the semester. The following is a schedule of texts assigned during Part 1. Lectures, discussion and writing assignments for the week will center on the assigned texts. Week 1: Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing," Langston Hughes' "I, Too," and Allison Adelle Hedge Coke's "America, I Sing You Back" Week 2: Selections from Indigenous oral literature, Christopher Columbus, Bartolomé de las Casas, Roger Williams, Willam Bradford, Thomas Morton, and Anne Bradstreet Week 3: Selections from 𝑨 𝑵𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒓𝒔.

Metas de aprendizaje
There are multiple learning goals for this class. The primary goal is that students gain a broader knowledge of American literature, how literature is an ongoing conversation that tells and shapes the country's story, and how to find and amplify the voices of marginalized people in that conversation. A further goal is that students learn more about analyzing literature, particularly through anti-racist, feminist, decolonial, queer, and historical lenses.

Orientación para padres
The content covered in this class will include colonization, slavery, genocide, war, disease, violence, death, and oppression. Some literature may include racist and sexist language and attitudes and will be discussed and analyzed through anti-racist, feminist, queer, decolonial, and historical lenses. Some literature may include alcohol, tobacco, and drug use, as well as sex, sexual assault, and sexual exploitation. The historical realities of U.S. history are disturbing to almost all students, but may be especially difficult for some learners. Please consider whether your learner is ready to grapple with this content before enrolling. In addition, this class will address the diversity of the experiences of being an American and how those experiences are reflected in the country's literature. Students will learn about the experiences of people of different religions, races, genders, sexes, and sexual orientations. We will explore the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people. Exploring history and literature always leads to connections with current events. Students will be encouraged to make these connections and this will lead to conversations about current political debates. My objective when this happens is to facilitate a civil, thoughtful, learner-led conversation in which students arrive at connections through their own analysis.
