学習到達目標
The goals of the class are:
to expose students to great writing from different times and places so they can see how humans and societies are similar and different,
to think critically about what we read and what constitutes great writing,
to explore ideas that are raised in literature and relate them to our own experience,
to understand and empathize with people who are different from ourselves,
to learn the different techniques by which authors express their ideas,
to "read between the lines," or make inferences from a text,
to express our own ideas precisely and vividly, both orally and in writing,
to learn, practice and improve different types of writing, and
to have fun reading and discussing literature.

The books we will be reading were written for adults. I have chosen them in discussion with a number of parents, and based on my experience, they will be suitable for most, but not all high school students. Parents are welcome to Google them and make their own decisions.
