This course introduces students to American and English popular literature as part of popular culture. During this course, students will do three crucial things: (1) Analyze texts; (2) Ask and respond to inference questions about popular literature; and (3) Write about popular literature. To this end, students will read, discuss, and write about assigned works of popular literature. They will complete quizzes and exams that ask them to make inferences and interpret works of popular literature. They will participate in weekly discussions that offer a platform for exposition and discussion.
