Course Objective
In this course students will read through classic works of literature (including poetry and short stories) and come together for discussion and composition instruction. In addition to the weekly meetings, they will have access to course-specific videos to guide them in interacting with and thinking deeply about the readings. These videos will also include exercises to form writing and expression on these works. Finally, this course will include two formal writing assignments, each tailored to the respective age groups.
