British Literature

Join us on a book club style class covering famous works of British Fiction.  Be prepared to argue, discuss, take sides, and occasionally question your friends' judgement as we read the following works together:

• The Knight's Tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales

• Twelfth Night - William Shakespere

• A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens

• Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen

• Hound of the Baskerville's - Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle

• The Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde

• Animal Farm - George Orwell

• Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll

• And then There Were None - Agatha Christie

• Selections of British Poetry and short stories

A lot of the grade for this class will be based on class participation. Students must come prepared to discuss with the reading completed!  The rest of the grade will be based on  a few short essay responses as well as one project based on the book of their choosing to earn the complete credit for this class.
