Homeschool High School Literature Class
Suggested for Grades 9-12Fall/Winter 2018-2019
Enjoying literature is easier and more fun to do in a group than in individual study. This class will learn how to dig deeper into an array of different genres including, but not limited to -- fiction, non/fiction, biography, fantasy/science fiction, poetry and modern literature. The goal for this class is threefold. First, we will be learning how to analyze literature. Second, we will be honing our writing and discussion skills to learn how to best express our thoughts. Third, we will work on organizational skills to help us fulfill expectations.
We will be using the Lost Tools of Writing curriculum to guide us in writing eight analytical essays based on the eight units of literature we study. We also will be working through poetry memorization and recitation, group work and Socratic Circles. As always, I like to fold in some dramatic performances, so we will try to take a trip to a theater for a field trip or two.
This class will meet weekly for 24 weeks and will meet the time requirements for 1 high school credit.
The cost for the class is $100/semester. Contact Sara Floerke if you have questions (sarafloerke@gmail.com or 218-340-5302)
