Freshman Class Literature
Freshman year is a survey year. It is an introduction to reading and writing for high school, college, career and life. We will not only work on those skill sets, but will specifically read texts to support the next three years in high school: freshman year- survey, sophomore year- world literature, junior year- American literature, and senior year-- British literature.
