Course Overview: 

In this course students will be introduced to literature from a variety of genres: biography, memoir, classic romance, fantasy, domestic genre (play), and historical fiction. They will also utilize supplement materials including critical essays, famous speeches, persuasive essays, and personal essays. Additionally, students will develop personal essay, creative, and persuasive writing via weekly assignments. Each week students will have access to materials (generally in a PPT) posted to the Slides and Resources folder to guide them in completing their homework.

Students will be writing 1 full piece (short story, essay, or article) every two weeks, but will have other supporting assignments (plans) along the way. Writing assignments are due 24 hours before class and there is a pre-class assignment!
