Implications of Literature 11th Grade Pioneer

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students.

Pioneer Level–Grade 11
The Pioneer Level explores American literature in the form of short stories, speeches, poetry, folklore, and much more. The Pioneer Level draws from familiar authors and speakers such as Martin Luther King Jr., Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, and Charles Lindbergh, along with numerous less familiar sources. Beginning with a quick 16-page review of key historical moments and influences over the last 500 years in America, the Pioneer Level enables readers to gain a deeper understanding of the impact and context history has provided to the American literature we read today. The activities in the Pioneer Level encourage high-school students to sharpen the skills needed for standardized tests and proficiency examinations, especially the clarity of written expression so critical in the newly-formatted SAT examinations.

Additional Students
The Implications of Literature student book is not consumable. Occasional questions appear throughout the text, but these are best answered on a separate paper. Families may choose to have students share student books, but if you have two students using the course simultaneously, they may find it most practical and efficient to each have their own student book.
