Course Description

Foundations of Western Literature continues the study of the various

genres in greater depth and detail, with particular emphasis on an

understanding of the variety and differences in literary forms.

In addition to studying literature, students will demonstrate

knowledge of the fundamentals of language structure and usage.

study of the genre, students will probe beneath surface appear-

ance, thus becoming more aware of the complexities of human

nature. Students in my K sections will express their

understanding of classical and contemporary literature through

written and oral analysis. Through the further study of the

mechanics of expression, students will write longer, more

involved, and more artistic prose. Reinforcement of the

techniques of paragraph development will assist them to logical-

ly, intellectually, and skillfully express their ideas.
