I am extremely excited about our students at Eagles Landing High School!  I have a passion for teaching students and a desire to help them succeed in every way possible.  The following is a description of World Literature.

This course is a thematic study of World literature and will include a variety of genres and significant themes. The purpose of this course is to allow the student an opportunity to gain competence in the following
