Students will learn how to take notes, outline, write a rough draft, and finally, complete a four to seven-page essay.  This class emphasizes the importance of critical thinking about literature and historical events. 

I have master's degrees in professional writing, history, and human services counseling. I have researched and written extensively about historical oppression. I have written numerous scholarly papers, including my master's thesis, on the topic of historical oppression. Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite studies. I have studied his life and works in detail for around two years now. I am in the process of writing a scholarly paper about his life. I teach a history class about Oscar Wilde for Outschool. I also teach various critical analyses and essay writing classes for Outschool. I will teach this class from a literary and historical perspective. Students will do their own analysis of the topic.
