In this course, students will read and critically assess major works of English-language imaginative literature — including fiction, poetry, and drama — from a diverse range of periods and styles. Topics covered will include style, structure, themes, imagery, figurative language, and symbolism. Students will develop their essay-writing skills, with attention to expository, analytical, and argumentative forms.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
