In Literary Criticism, we take literature to the next level.
If you love to read and think deeply about those works of literature, Literary Criticism might be the UIL event for you!
Each year, along with an intense study of literary terms, literary periods, & prize winners (all contained in The Handbook of Literature), the team studies a novel, a play, and a poet that the UIL Literary Criticism state director selects. In 2022-2023, the team is studying the following works:
Silas Marner
The Glass Menagerie
Poetry of William Butler Yeats
See Mr. Ard to join the team!!! Practices are each Thursday from 3:15-5:00.
