Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature:  Classification:  EN

This course offers a critical and historical survey of science fiction and fantasy in literature. Students could study the development of science fiction and fantasy as a genre since the early 1900s to the present. Students should not only study the structure and content of science fiction and fantasy literature, but also its effect on society and how it reflects the political and cultural times in which it was written. Students working on high school credits may choose to read individual works -- twelve (12) novels or major works -- and accompanying writing assignments to earn one (1) credit from North Atlantic Regional High School (NARHS).
