Trusted teacher: How do writers make their words come alive? Why are we still fascinated by stories written in faraway places thousands of years ago? Is it possible to be a better writer by paying attention to how storytellers craft sentences? In this eight-week class, we discuss the books we're reading and the characters we admire and loathe – their challenges, triumphs, and failures. What would we do if we were in that situation? How can we be sure? During our time together, we will read, discuss, think, play with ideas, and write. For your final project, you will create a book review. This can be a written review, a class presentation, or a video submission. We're not practicing to be bookworms: we are training to be book dragons.

If you want a more advanced literature class, you can sign up for Crash Course in Literature Analysis: Have you ever wondered how writers weave their stories? Is there a secret formula that all stories share? Do writers bury clues so curious and clever readers can uncover what lies beneath the surface of their story? During this ten-week class, we explore these questions. You learn how to think about literature and how to engage in the “Great Conversation” that has inspired writers, readers, and philosophers for millennia to ponder what it means to be human and what makes a good life. You begin to recognize and understand common literary devices, symbols, themes, character archetypes, plot structure, and more.
