This two-semester course will provide a fun (& engaging) look into Gothic Literature... 

At the beginning of the meeting, we will cover popular Authors of the week - Several of which we will be reading the material of. We'll discuss their connections, inspirations, home life, the amazing things that make them unique, etc.

Following - We will review the significant details of the reading material for the week - Students need to pre-read the material before class. (I can provide digital copies upon student request and help any students who struggle with the material.) We will break down settings, analyze character development (or lack thereof), enjoy some vocabulary words, have some in-depth discussions, etc. We will also be covering literary elements, writing elements, and creative tips that the authors used. 

Activities: Each week we will have interactive posts on the classroom page or in-class activities meant to help the students engage with the material. There will be several big activities throughout the 32 weeks - We will cover writing elements but students may use their artistic skills to complete those activities as well. (Drawing, Sculpting, Videography, etc.)
