You will need your own copy of Thomas C. Foster's 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓. There is a revised edition (2014) that is preferable, but either edition is fine. You will also need to print out the student note handout.
We will be watching brief scenes from a variety of movies, some of which contain language. I always communicate that the use of swear words is not appropriate in the classroom setting, but if you and your learner are sensitive to strong language, just note that it will sometimes appear in clips we watch together. There will NOT be overtly violent or sexual content in videos we view. Chapter 17 (week 6) discusses the fact that authors of world literature often use sex as a theme. I will not be giving details but will instruct learners that as readers, we need to learn how to filter that content for ourselves and understand what the author is saying. Please take the time to read the text for yourself if you have any concerns. While the text mentions books with difficult themes, we will not be discussing those themes specifically in class; rather, it is the broader concepts (quests like Lord of the Rings, dinner scenes like those in To Kill a Mockingbird, Biblical allegories like Steinbeck's East of Eden, etc) that will be discussed in class.

What happens when a learner is given the time and space to soak in a story and allow it to change their life? “Aha!” moments are my goal, and it’s why I adore leading worthwhile discussions about classic books. What good is it if we require a teen...
