World Literature is a study of selected major works from both eastern and western civilizations. Set within a historical context, the ancient and modern literature explores the intellectual, moral, and ethical orientation of the diverse cultures of humanity. Writing and research are an integral part of the course. Vocabulary development is implemented through the use of online programs and the study of vocabulary in the context of the literature. A multi-media approach to learning is used throughout the year. Completion of a thesis paper is a requirement for graduation.
