In this English 4 course students will connect with beautiful British literature throughout history. We will study works chronologically and discover them both from within the historical and literary context they were written in as well as an exploration of their impact today. From Beowulf to modern literature there is much to discover – early and important Christian writings, struggle, politics, poetry, social classes, war, murder, intrigue, it’s all here! Come join us for a fascinating look at many significant pieces of English writing. English IV is a highly interactive class and includes discussion, vocabulary, projects, and papers. Because of the dialogue nature of this british literature course, a functioning microphone will be required.

Jenny Cutler graduated in 2005 with a B.A. in Education, and in 2012 with a Master’s Degree in Multicultural Education, both from Eastern University. Jenny taught in both private and public schools until she had her first child and decided to stay home with him. She ran a tutoring business during her first few years as a stay at home parent but found teaching online to be an ideal fit for her, and she made the switch in 2014.

Taking English IV with my teacher, Jenny Cutler, has expanded my knowledge in the realm of English literature. This class has been difficult at times, but once I accomplish an essay, it all feels worth it. With each paper written, I feel more knowledge gained. I would highly recommend this class for others to take.

For someone who doesn’t like english in the first place, this class and Mrs. Cutler specifically has made it very enjoyable. This is my second time taking a class with Mrs. Cutler. The way she structures the classes around discussions of the topics really helps me get to know the book better. As well as talking with classmates and having a debate about certain topics helps to understand the material better. Another thing I like about this class is the homework. We are never doing the same thing every week. There is always something new that we are doing to keep us on our toes. I have had a great time in Mrs. Cutlers classes and am sad to be graduating this year.
