CONTENT
Dracula provides several opportunities for rich analytical discussion.  
Class discussion will revolve around the following novel-related concepts:
    - Corruption
    - Madness
    - Symbolism
    - Science, pseudoscience, and spirituality
    - Masculinity
    - Feminism
    - Mental illness / madness
    - Psychology

TEACHING STYLE
    - I want my students to discuss, interact, and learn from each other! Every chance I get,  I will encourage them to respond to others ideas
    - I hope to facilitate conversation, protect think-time, and pose questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text. 
    - I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking. 
    - While I will challenge students to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated.  
    - I love interacting with my students!  I will be apart of the conversation as well 😁
    - Lecture-style lessons will be taught to ensure all students comprehend concepts and themes
    - Tied to all of my literature courses is an exclusive private tutoring session on Fridays for only $10. When students sign up the course, they will be given a link to that session that they can attend when needed for homework help and instructor-guidance on papers and reading
    - The idea of providing a grade and then moving on is not my style.  If a student is willing to persevere, I want to keep working with them until the learning goals have been achieved.
