Unit 1:  Literature


      Reading literature is different from reading textbooks, essays, or newspaper articles.  Literature contains a different kind of information, of "truth," and requires a different reading approach.

      The stories you will be reading describe characters and events from the depression.  You have two purposes in reading them:

  • To learn about literature; and
  • To gain an understanding of the depression.

Deadline to finish all Unit 1 assignments: February 9th.
