1.0 credit/De La Salle weight

Prerequisites: A “B+” average or higher in English, proficiency in writing, completion of summer reading selections, and placement by current English instructor.

PACC American Literature is designed to challenge the honors student who is especially interested in literature and composition. Like Honors American Literature/Composition, students are expected to be careful readers in studying major literary texts, but the course is “advanced” in that students are working at a college level and pace. Independent understanding and appreciation of literature are important prerequisites. Performance in this course will determine the student’s potential for continuing in Advanced Placement English in senior year. Three hours of college credit can be earned through enrollment in Saint Mary’s dual credit program.
