An ongoing course in which we discuss literature: how to read effectively for meaning.

Students will improve their literary reading skills through guidance and application of literary devices. This will include, but is not limited to, figures of speech, language, and historical period of the given piece.
As an English Teacher I have worked over the years with many novels, some of which at one time or another have found themselves on the banned book list (keep in mind, Harry Potter was also once a banned book!).
Pencil, paper (preferably a reading journal of some kind). Additional sources I should be able to provide (reading material).
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
