Classics are meant to be explored, not just read. In this class, we're going to explore two famous pieces of work. To fully understand a piece of writing, we have to understand the time period it was written and the author of the story. We're going to be reading "The Odyssey," by Homer and "Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles. Before we start reading each story, we will spend class discussing the time period it was written and learn about the author. Each class will contain detailed, guided discussions of the reading to help students gain an understanding of the literature. Two different types of homework will be assigned. The first type of homework is considered enrichment. It won’t be required, but it will help students reinforce concepts taught in class. The second type of homework will be necessary to get the most out of class (and receive a grade). Homework will be clearly labeled as enrichment or required. Students will complete two literary analyses and an argumentative essay. All assignments will be checked for completion. Writing assignments will receive feedback with 2-3 things the student did well on the essay. Then, I will share 3-4 ways they can revise their essay. Constructive feedback will include specific examples on how to improve their essay. For example, if I mention the thesis statement (topic sentence) could use a little adjustment, I will write possible examples of thesis statements for their essay. Students can submit essays for revision and editing as many times as they'd like. Final grades will be given at the end of the semester. *This class is the first part of a full-year course. The spring semester course will take place on the same day and time as the fall semester for continuity.* Concepts covered in this class: Theme, symbols, setting, tone, figurative language, foreshadowing Understanding non-fiction texts Annotating How to conduct research Organizing facts Writing process (outline, rough draft, revising, editing) Citations Literary analysis Creating compelling arguments Argumentative essay

I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. A large portion of my college years was spent studying creative and essay writing. I have self-published a few fiction books and I am currently working on another. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education. This change has given me knowledge of teaching and writing. I have been teaching ELA since 2014, and I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020.
