世界文学：20世紀ラテンアメリカ詩キャンプ

The world of great literature is extremely broad and full of wonderful poets that are mostly unknown to North American students.  Many of these poems and poets are very available in English and very accessible to middle/high school learners. 

In this fun discussion-based summer camp we will discuss three Latin American poets. 

Pablo Neruda 
Gabrela Mistral
Jorge Borges

We will talk about the background of each poet, their historical and political setting, and the spectrum of their poetry.  We will read and analyze at least two poems from each poet. 

This is a discussion-intensive course. All students are expected to interact with respect and civility.  I understand that the topics and themes can be controversial and invite disagreement. However, kindness facilitates productive and persuasive conversation.
