Composition Classes, Topics List

I have had great success teaching reading and writing courses according to a theme, a practice I was introduced to during my graduate work at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Each term, I select a general idea and align my reading and writing assignments, in addition to as many in-class examples as I can, to it.

Past themes include:

• Food, Summer 2010

• Archetypes, Fall 2010

• Music, Spring 2011

• Antagonists, Summer 2011

• Types of Heroes, Fall 2011

• Citizenship, Spring 2012

• Fairy Tales and Myths, Fall 2012

• Work, Spring 2013
