Recommended Prerequisite: English 2 CP. This is a survey of British and World literature for college preparatory students. A major emphasis is placed on theme writing, and this emphasis is supplemented with a term paper. The purpose of this course is to teach students to express themselves clearly and logically both in class discussion and in written assignments. The course includes a systematic study of vocabulary and stresses a review of grammar fundamentals in areas where weaknesses are most apparent in relation to written work. The student must complete a research paper on a contemporary issue or a topic related to British literature.
