Basic Course Description -- Quarter One -- 2008-09

This class will be led by Katy Ainslie, a pre-service teacher from Edgewood College.

In order to broaden the traditional creative canon offered to high school students, this course will explore contributions in literature, art, and music made primarily by the female pen, brush, and voice. Students will be responsible for individual analysis of materials and completion of a variety of self-directed, creative projects. Research, presentations, and some individual work outside of class time are expected. Students should be willing to explore and share their own creative voices in this class. Although the focus will be primarily on past female contributions to the arts, male students are especially encouraged to enroll and develop their own creative theories.

All students will read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice this quarter.
