CAP 082 - CAP High School Literature

Credits: 1-5
In this course, students develop their skills as they read texts from across thousands of years and many cultures. This course uses a thematic approach to comparing and contrasting texts that represent a wide range of time periods and places. By exploring a single theme over time, culture, and genre, students distinguish what is directly stated in a text from what can be inferred, and learn devices such as satire, sarcasm, irony, and understatement.
