Lit & Comp: Genre Studies
Course Description:
Several courses in the DMPS English Pathway grant students the opportunity to focus their studies in particular genres of literature. These courses, which stand as a replacement for the senior-level English IV (World Literature) class, include studies of culture, time, drama, speculative fiction, literature drawn from the world of sports, and tighter focus on the powerful work of female authors. No matter what direction a student wishes to focus their study of literature, a genre study course can be the perfect method of furthering that exploration.
Curriculum Guide:
The complete curriculum guides for the genre study (Lit & Comp) courses that have formally adopted curriculum are located at the links below. As you continue down the page, specific information and resources shared by Lit & Comp teachers will be provided.

No Red Ink (IN PROGRESS, check back soon...)
All ELA teachers now have a premium account through NoRedInk.com. Please see the attached pacing guide that identifies activities and assessments in NRI that connect with each learning target from your curriculum guide.
This tool is an incredible resource for grammar instruction but should not take the place of strong in-person lessons from you, their teacher. Students should have opportunities to engage in authentic practice through writing.
