The course is designed to develop in students an ability to understand, analyze and evaluate drama and poetry. The first half of the course focuses on drama and introduces the student to plays from the Greek classics through the twentieth century. The second half of the course emphasizes poetry that reflects different forms, subjects, themes and points of view. Since reading is a major focus of this course, students will practice a variety of interrelated reading and interpretative skills. Students’ writing should move beyond paraphrasing into analysis, interpretation and argumentation.
