Description
Reading and understanding literature allows us to make connections: to our communities, to each other and ourselves.
Through reading, writing, analysis and discussion, we will engage the short story as a vehicle through which we can
learn to create the connections we desire. Drawing from the short works of literary masters, students will have the
opportunity to experience different perspectives. Through literary analysis, students will take those perspectives and
discover what they mean and how they can impact the way they see the world. This learning process will take place
through online discussion forums, quizzes and a variety of focused and exploratory writing assignments. Additionally,
opportunities are given for more personal “Educated Citizen†portfolio reflections.
