British Literature and Composition (1 cr) will consist of  analyzing and constructing literary critiques as they read a wide range of British Literature.  We start with an Essay Bootcamp using Alice in Wonderland as our source material.  We will go step-by-step through reading, annotating, thesis writing, essay organization and the final product with citations.  
I will be discussing the use of AI with the students.  For this class, unless expressed permission is given by me, AI in any form is not allowed.

Books/Works:  Alice in Wonderland, Animal Farm, The Hobbit, Robinson Crusoe, Frankenstein,  Jane Eyre, A Christmas Carol, Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, The Princess and the Goblin, The Lost World, Paradise Lost, Canterbury Tales, Legends of King Arthur and Beowulf.

As a believer in Classical Education, my classes are driven with discussion over lecture.  However, I will be using white boards and screen sharing to present information as well.
