Description

If you want your student to do more than skim literature for plot and symbolism, this course offers something deeper.

Cross-Cultural American Literature invites students to read, think, discuss, and write through the lens of identity, culture, and history.

In this full-year course, students explore American literature through the voices and experiences of African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Native American authors using selections inspired by multicultural literature anthologies from McGraw-Hill Education.

Through guided discussion, video, curated readings, and reflective writing, students examine how literature reflects lived experience and how it shapes our understanding of the world.
