We will be covering two major authors
throughout this course. I am sure most of you have already been exposed
to William Shakespeare
and Edgar Allen Poe. In
this course we will be reading prose, plays, poems by these infamous
authors but will not be limited to them only.
Not only will you be responsible to keep up with the readings, but we will also be writing a number of essays, in-class writings, and reflections. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that you not only read, but follow along and understand everything we are doing.
I am ALWAYS here to help so please feel free to ask questions or come see me after class. It seems like a lot of work, but believe me we're going to have fun too!
Below I am going to list five websites that will definitely be useful throughout this course. As long as you have this website, you'll NEVER be able to use the excuse that you forgot your book in your locker! A complete list of all of Shakespeare's and Poe's works will be available through one of these five links. (Believe me I thought of everything!!!) Not only that, but because both these authors are often hard to understand, these websites go in depth where we may not have time in class.
Because we will also be writing some essays, there is also a website that will help those of you who are a little intimidated by this process. There is also an easy bibliography program that will help with your works cited page. Please don't rely completely on it (but it is a nice little shortcut most of the time)!
Good Luck! and remember, I'm always here to help!
