Did you know Hemingway tried to take out enemy submarines with his own fishing boat? Or that Emily Bronte died because she accidentally drank cemetery runoff water?? Yep! This class is a new twist on learning literature! We will be learning about some of the greatest authors of all time! That means fun facts, important milestones, and a deep dive into their personal and professional lives. Of course, one of the best ways to get to know an author is by reading their work... so each week we will be reading an excerpt from some of their best works! January: Ernest Hemingway Agatha Christie Charlotte Bronte Maya Angelou February: Emily Bronte Walt Whitman Mary Shelley Leo Tolstoy March: Mary Oliver George Orwell Edgar Allan Poe Washington Irving April: Shel Silverstein E.E. Cummings Charles Dickens Jane Austen May: J.K. Rowling Virginia Woolf F. Scott Fitzgerald Mark Twain June: Elizabeth Browning Herman Melville Toni Morrison James Joyce July: D.H. Lawrence John Steinbeck William Butler Yeats Fyodor Dostoevsky ...and more to come!
