A course of study developing the critical skills of interpreting literary texts with particular emphasis on various modes of literary theory.

Activities in class will be content driven and the methods in which the content is studied will be wide ranging from teacher-centered lecture-style classes, to group activities, to individual research and study activities.


Assessment in the class will consist of both formative and summative assessment; formal and informal. Students’ skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening will each be assessed each term through written essays, presentations, and participation in group discussions and activities.
