Welcome! This 24 week course is intended to serve learners interested in a literature course which allows them to increase their exposure to some of the greatest literary fiction ever written. We will explore and discover the magic and impact of the written word, increase our reading stamina, and engage in high-level discussions and debates about our own thoughts and ideas on what each novel means to us. The direction of class discussions, analysis, and debate will be almost entirely learner-created with the instructor acting primarily as a thought provoker and examiner based on relevant themes and ideas presented in the readings. Learners who enroll late will be asked to complete reading from the current novel or story assigned prior to their enrollment date. Alternatively, they may wish to enroll at the start of a new novel. I can always provide a specific date for this. No previous experience or knowledge is required for this class. Below is a general syllabus of how the course is structured through the first 15 weeks. Weeks 1-5: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury/Examination and analysis of key ideas, themes and motifs Week of January 24: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury/Examination of character development, changes, interaction and conflict Week of January 31: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury/Analyze how a particular point of view, historical context or cultural experience is reflected in a work of literature Week of February 7: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury/Overarching themes and ideas presented in the work Week of February 14: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury/Discuss the relevance of the novel in modern society Weeks 6-10: Animal Farm by George Orwell -Examination and analysis of key ideas, themes and motifs -Examination of character development, changes, interaction and conflict -Discuss the relevance of the novel in modern society -Analyze how a particular point of view, historical context or cultural experience is reflected in a work of literature Weeks 11-15: The Stranger by Albert Camus -Examination and analysis of key ideas, themes and motifs -Examination of character development, changes, interaction and conflict -Discuss the relevance of the novel in modern society -Analyze how a particular point of view, historical context or cultural experience is reflected in a work of literature Weeks 16 - 20: 1984 by George Orwell Weeks 21 - 24: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
The novels we will read in this class will sometimes contain mature themes that some learners may find challenging and/or emotional. The purpose of the course is to develop literacy, thinking, analysis and discussion skills, deepen historical understanding of the world in context, and increase exposure to great literature from around the world which continues to remain relevant and important today. However, I want to address how unsolicited and potentially emotional expressions are handled in my class and how I intend to respond to students regarding complex and challenging themes.
1. Set the stage and develop classroom norms collaboratively with students:
*Students are expected to be engaged, collaborative, and respectful to one another at all times
*Students are encouraged to read assigned passages through a lens of compassion, empathy, respect, historical context and objectivity
*Students are expected to focus on what the text says rather than subjective interpretations or opinions. Focusing on textual evidence effectively eliminates most potential occurrences for unsolicited response and expression
*Students always have the opportunity to opt out of a particular discussion if they feel the material is too taxing emotionally
*If it is noted that a student appears struggling with the material being presented or discussed, I will inform the parent about the concern immediately. Further, please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about this class.
2. Encourage students to research material on their own using reliable sources in order to gain a fuller understanding of the material
3. Focus the discussion, encourage reflection, and make connections to lived experience. Giving the students a framework for the day's reading discussion up front aligns and focuses conversation on the ideas and thoughts presented in specific passages
4. Confront the idea, not the individual. Be the paragon of effective, purposeful, and respectful dialog
5. Facilitate actively by rewording questions posed by students, correcting misinformation, making reference to relevant reading materials or course content, asking for clarification, and reviewing main points
Please contact me directly if you have concerns or questions regarding the content of this class or visit (https://www.commonsensemedia.org) for parent reviews and comments about the novels.
