| What are the Contemporary Literature classes studying? Modern Literature Current Syllabus |
This yearlong course offers students the opportunity
to explore primarily American and Commonwealth
literature of approximately the last 50 years as it
reflects contemporary issues, values and dilemmas
unique to the twentieth century and modern society.
A variety of readings, including new styles and forms
transcending traditional literary genre, multiple
writing assignments, and speaking/listening/viewing
experiences will challenge students to think critically
in preparation for further schooling and the
communication realities of the workplace. Students
will conduct research using both traditional research
skills as well as the opportunities available through
various emerging technologies. In addition, students
will complete a senior seminar project requiring use
of those skills reinforced throughout their education in
the Bernards Township Public Schools. Students will
complete summer reading as well as a Senior
Anthology Project.
Works include: Death of a Salesman, Fences, One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, In the Lake of the
