✨New to Outschool? Use code OUTAngelia20 to save $20 on any class! ✨ In this 16-week self-paced class (asynchronous), students will do the first half of World Literature and Composition where we will analyze short stories, novels, and nonfiction, and write short stories, presentations, and essays on related topics. If students are taking the class for an academic grade, they should plan on spending several hours a week on the class for the lessons, homework, projects, and reading. This class can be used as a core English/Literature/Language Arts/ELA course for 10th or 11th grade (US standards). For non US-students, please contact me and I can send you the standards to see if it will suit your high school/secondary school year 10, 11, or 12 student's needs. Students will read two novels, short stories, and nonfiction texts as we work through various themes and topics throughout the semester. Grammar, vocabulary, and writing will be a part of each unit and students will learn and reinforce MLA format for their essays. There are NO live meetings for this course. Multiple posts will be made to the classroom each week which will include: video lessons on the text and language arts/grammar lessons, discussion questions on the reading, homework post which will include the reading and worksheet/writing/creative project assignment, and question/answer posts regarding language arts, vocabulary, and grammar. Unit 1 - Short Stories - 4 weeks Students will read various short stories from authors from around the world. Students will learn about different elements of narrative writing including characterization, setting, plot order (foreshadowing, flashbacks, linear, etc.), plot structure, narrator, and point of view. Students will study short excerpts from various short stories in connection to the different elements of narrative writing. Final project for the unit will be to write their own short story. Unit 2 - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - 4 weeks In this unit, students will read THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME by Mark Haddon. A contemporary mystery novel about a non-typical hero who is the right person to solve the crime. Students will learn about analyzing quotes, the importance of representation, coming-of-age stories, literary devices, point of view, setting, how to analyze the various characters of the text and identify their strengths and weaknesses, examining quotations and finding their deeper meaning, MLA format for essays and Works Cited pages, and learn about and practice timed academic writing. Students will create an oral slideshow presentation and a Works Cited as the final project. Unit 3 - Frankenstein - 4 weeks. In this unit, students will read FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley, a critically acclaimed novel that is believed to be the first science fiction and horror novel. Students will learn about theme, the use of foreshadowing, the use of narration, author style, characterization, frame stories, Gothic novels, the early Romantic period of literature, correctly identify the literal incidents and their proper sequence in the plot, what universal experiences are, how to examine quotes and passages, and examine how reading a book can change your mind on a previously held opinion. The final project will be to write a five paragraph essay and Works Cited page in MLA format about Frankenstein. Unit 4 - Informational Texts - 3 weeks In this unit, student's will read and analyze letters, speeches, articles, and other informational texts by individuals from around the world. As the students examine each text, they will identify the rhetorical techniques used, clarify the logical arguments, and learn about the historical context of each writing.

Students will research some topics online, read articles on websites, and occasionally watch an informational YouTube video to complete homework assignments. I will refer to the Google Suite for completing homework assignments (for example, writing an essay in Google Docs).
Students will read and discuss in a matter-of-fact way the following texts which tackle some sensitive topics. Some of the topics tackled will be murder, revenge, racism, anti-Semitism, foul language, and sexism. The books tell stories that include these elements and the students will discuss these issues in a matter-of-fact way in context to when/where it happened or is depicted as happening. It is important for learners to know that these issues exist even if they don't have a personal connection to one or any of the topics. These books are taught to high school/secondary school aged children all over the world and are considered to be age appropriate with the knowledge of the sensitive issues that will be covered.
