We will also be looking at the Bible as Literature and learning the literary components of the Bible.
Throughout the class, students will:

- Develop a final project incorporating their interests (such as art, poetry, songwriting, building, etc.) and write a final paper.
- Research and discuss the historical background of the authors.
The cost for the class is $375 for the year, and is open to students grades 9-12. This class satisfies 2 credits for the Indiana High School Core 40 English requirements. Come join us as we step into the fascinating study of World and British Literature!
