  Senior Literature — Fall Semester For this senior level class we will be reading the works of some of fiction’s greatest authors. In addition to the reading, the students will analyze literary devices, write short stories, take part in in-class writing and be expected to read and write a paper on a book of their own choice each month. Students will be required to bring a pencil/pen and paper to class, to take part in class discussions, to read assigned books and to write papers. Holocaust — 11/12 —Winter Semester The Holocaust raises difficult questions about history and how individuals make decisions. In this class we will learn about the events that led up to and went on during the Holocaust. We will look at those involved as belonging to one of four categories: victims, perpetrators, rescuers, or bystanders. Next we will examine the actions, motives, and decisions of each group. Students will be required to bring a pencil/pen and paper to class, to take part in class discussions, to read assigned books and to write papers. * Due to the brutal and graphic nature of this subject, students must be 16 to be in this class.*
   
  Instructor: Royer, Karly
  Instructor Bio:
  I am a certified ESL teacher with a background in linguistics, literature, history and dance. I have taught at Palaestra for many years and more recently started teaching at Home School Connections. My middle school aged daughter keeps me on my toes and is teaching me to enjoy science, specifically chemistry. I really enjoy teaching writing and literature. My goal is to show students that writing can be if not fun, at least tolerable. When I am not "dance momming” or teaching, I am usually knitting.
