Welcome to The American Voice: Explorations
Bookmark us! This site is created and hosted by students and faculty at Emerson Preparatory School in Washington, D.C.
During the Spring 2006 term, this site will feature the explorations and discussions of Ms. Schamess's American Voice class, featuring the literature of North and South America. Here is our reading list. Click on the titles and author names to gain more insight.
We will also read from three special packets to accompany each unit. Information on those packets will be posted soon.
Unit One
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
Baltimore’s Mansion by Wayne Johnston
Unit Two
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka
Unit Three
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie
The Magic of Blood by Dagoberto Gilb (click here for another good link or here for another to Gilb)
Note: Although the inspiration for this site came from the work and curriculum of the school, this is an independent blog that will host student work, assignment ideas for the high school level, and an ongoing exchange among students and teachers.
