Literary Analysis 2nd semester

Elevate your literary understanding and 
ignite your passion for reading.  Unlock 
hidden meanings, delve into the depths 
of your favorite novels, and analyze texts 
like never before. This comprehensive 
course will equip you with the skills to 
critically engage with literature, 
sharpening your analytical thinking and 
writing abilities.

This course is the second half of this 
foundational course in literary analysis 
that will prepare students for more 
advanced literature courses.  Studying 
great literature helps students develop 
their own vocabulary and writing skills, 
as well as generating the ability to 
defend their ideas both orally and in 
writing.  This course is excellent 
preparation for students soon to be in 
high school, as well as young high 
schoolers to prepare for the discussions 
and writing of literature in later 
high school and university classes. This 
class is highly interactive, Socratic, 
and inquiry led. In this class, we will 
cover many reading and writing skills 
necessary to succeed in academic literary 
study, while reading and discussing various 
genres and time periods in literature.

As a self-paced version of my Literary 
Analysis 2 course, this course will offer 
no live class meetings.  Instead, your 
student will have access to a class 
recording weekly to watch, as well as 
additional written and visual documents 
to augment the recording.  The student will 
also have various quizzes and interactive 
assignments to check their understanding 
of the video content, creating a workshop 
feel during the 15 weeks.  Also each week, 
students will have an opportunity to 
complete their own longer writing assignments 
related to the class content and to receive 
individualized teacher feedback. 
This class can be followed by my American, 
British, World, or Russian literature series.

What to expect in this course:
-Explore a wide range of literary genres and periods
-Learn how to identify and interpret literary devices
-Develop your critical thinking and writing skills
-Gain insights into the human condition and society
-Enhance your appreciation for literature

From a former student, "Your literature classes 
really prepared me well for college but also 
continued developing my critical thinking skills, 
world view, and love of learning."
