Introduction to Literature and Composition – Tuesday – Fall 2022 & Winter 2023 – 20 Weeks – Grades 7 – 10

Have you ever read a work of great literature and wondered how and why the author created the work they did?

This course will introduce you to “literary reading”. This is a way to learn about the contexts of stories, including information about the author, textual elements, and other aspects of the assigned works of great literature. This curriculum/course provides opportunities for writing practice while simultaneously growing familiar with some of the greatest writers of all time. Each module directs the student to specific context resources, including readings, art, music, poetry, etc., via web links in the study guide. For your convenience, the links are listed by module. Please note that these pages offer links to online resources only. Off-line resources, as well as instructions for reading assignments and reference pages are found in the study guide (provided via PDF).      

This course will be very interactive, and student driven. Students will complete reading, writing and projects.

This course is designed for the students to interact with the works of literature. Students will immerse themselves in many aspects of the work including art, music, history, setting and more.

Students will read, discuss, analyze and write about:

Short stories (Provided by teacher)

This was my 9th grader’s first online course with a live component. He loved it! The information was terrific, he really likes Mrs. Amanda, and it was great preparation for future dual enrollment courses, which we hope to start in a year or two. I’ve never had him say he wishes a class would last longer!
