As a believer in Classical Education, my classes are driven with discussion over lecture. However, I will be using white boards and screen sharing to present information as well.Metas de aprendizaje
Students will be able to read classic British Literature (in the context of the times) and analyze through their own, unique worldview. Using the tools of invention, they will create theses, and support those theses in well-organized persuasive/informative essays. Students will also gain knowledge about the author and contextual backgrounds of the texts.

Orientación para padres
Some of the literature we will be reading include mature themes. For example, Canterbury Tales has some sexual content, although we will not be focusing on those stories. Robinson Crusoe has elements of racism that we do not find appropriate today. The Arthur Legends have themes of incest and many others have themes of dark-arts or magic. Many stories were written from a Judeo-Christian author point of view and those views are expressed in their writing, while some authors were unapologetically agnostic .
