Welcome to class! During this yearlong course we will be exploring a number of great works that span a variety of traditions, cultures, and time periods. As outlined in the program of studies, we will address the following essential questions: How does time and place influence a story? How do cultures share and change ideas? How does one communicate effectively? With these questions in mind we will do a significant amount of reading, analyzing, discussing, and writing. This course will deal with difficult concepts, which will require a substantial effort on your part to understand. Expect to do a great deal of reading, writing, and most importantly, thinking.
This website will provide you with access to important course documents (syllabus, pacing guide, etc.). Daily assignments and handouts will be made available to you via Google Classroom, so be sure to check there frequently.
