Welcome to British Literature
Congratulations you are seniors! Now come and take a peek into the world of British Literature. In this class we will be reading material from the Anglo-Saxon period, the Middle Ages, the Elizabethan period and much much more.
Come to class with open minds and a willingness to learn and who knows you might just see King Arthur and his men. In this class your knowledge will grow you will battle along side heroes, triumph over tyrants, and who knows you might even discover the truth of monsters.
Well, I hope this helps to get you excited about this class. Be warned British Literature is my favorite subject and you are going to be diving into that world when you walk through the door.
