Topics in Literature 11
Students will practice college-level reading, research, writing, and revision. Students will read and analyze poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and drama. They will also be exposed to literary criticism (e.g., moral criticism, new historicism). Students will complete a research project, learning how to build an argument through the integration of outside sources and how to navigate the research process from beginning to end.
Students in both classes will follow the same curriculum, but the college-in-high-school (CHS) class will include supplementary reading and more complex assignments. Students will be held to a higher standard for their written work, as well.
Students taking the class without CHS credit will complete the same work as the college-credit students and will receive the same GPA class weighting. However, they will not incur the costs of the course nor receive credit from Seton Hill University.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of American Literature and teacher recommendation (CHS only)

Diversity & Literature 12
Students will engage with works of both world and American authors who have used writing as an expression of culture and identity. Students will use the lens of their Catholic faith along with literary criticism (e.g., postcolonial criticism, women’s literary criticism) to explore literature that portrays people of various cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Students will compose college-level papers that cite and analyze the text, supporting claims with scholarly research to enhance critical thinking and foster cultural awareness.
Students in both classes will follow the same curriculum, but the college-in-high-school (CHS) class will include supplementary reading, more complex assignments, and a final. Students will also be held to a higher standard for their written work.
Students taking the class without CHS credit will complete the same work as the college-credit students and will receive the same GPA class weighting. However, they will not incur the costs of the course nor receive credit from Duquesne University.
