Assigned texts will explore social constructs in terms of power relationships, and guided discussion will help students recognize how culturally based assumptions influence perceptions and behaviors described in literature. Students will review the terms and approaches of literary criticism, producing at least one formal essay that integrates research from appropriate academic sources with original analysis of a primary text.
