Description

Class Experience

Even the most avid readers can struggle with the skills of analyzing a work of fiction and then being able to discuss what they have found. In this class series the focus will be on helping learners to gain familiarity and comfort with this skill, and even learn to enjoy it.

In the first class session we will spend the hour discussing how to analyze fiction. We will talk about components including characterization, themes, plot, setting, point of view, imagery, voice, style, tone, and...

By the end of class learners will have gained a familiarity and comfort level with the basics of analyzing fiction.

Between classes learners will read and analyze either a piece of short fiction or a novel split between two classes.

Notebook/paper and pencil/pen. Handouts will be given, but printing them is optional.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
