Description
This course will help students to develop deeper and more comprehensive understandings of literary texts, as well as to forge a more rewarding relationship with reading in general. In a supportive group environment, students will explore a range of reading strategies; then they will apply these tools to an in-depth study of two major works: Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Our overall goal is to become more resourceful, effective, and insightful readers. Eight-credit students will pursue, under faculty guidance, an appropriately heavier reading and writing load.Maximum Enrollment: 25
