An essential part of high school English is the study of notable novels. These works of literature may be notable for the longevity of their influence, exceptional quality, contribution to culture, or typical of an era, people, or movement. Learners explore the pages of literary masterpieces that have shaped cultures, stirred emotions, and inspired generations. In this ongoing class, we work through notable novels, and the teacher gives learners essential questions to answer as they read. In the live class, we come together for discussion. The idea is to read broadly, deeply, and regularly while thinking about deeper life questions that literature brings to bear. The live meetings provide accountability for students to read as well as the opportunity to intelligently discuss literature and how what they read has modern-day applications in understanding themselves or the world in which they live. Students are not expected to "learn a lesson" from each novel; rather, we want them to think about the issues presented by the author and determine whether or not they agree or disagree with the author's worldview. Students will analyze literary devices, figurative language, story elements, characterization, theme, the author's craft, etc., and attempt to answer the essential questions.
