This first semester course is similar to a high school level research paper course; however, its emphasis is in reading rather than composition.  Voracious self-driven readers will LOVE this class.  Like science fiction?  Like fantasy?  Like true crime?  Want to prepare for college by reading Advanced Placement titles?  Design your own literature course!  This course is designed to be similar to a research paper course in that it is self-directed in the your choice of topic.  Pick your own "theme" and choose readings from different literature genres.  The course assignments will give examples, but you will be choosing your own theme and readings.
