10th Grade Literature and Composition

Unit Outline for Suspense

Essential Questions: What sends shivers down your spine? What is suspense and what literary devices do authors use to create suspense? What is feminist critical theory? How can I apply different lenses to see the literature I read in a different light?

You need your literature book every day in class (no book = detention)
