Literature English Course and Learning Objectives

Suggested Grade Level: 10-11

Literature as an art form is intended to challenge the hard edges of reality. As long as story-telling has existed as an art form it uses keen observation and fact in it’s creation of character, setting and interpretations of societies in spite of it being a fiction. Where does human and global nature leave off and literature begin? Does writing fiction actually give greater freedoms to a writer than one who writes about facts? This course shall be intended as means for students to improve their reading, creative and essay writing skills in forming arguments about a piece of literature or a perspective.

文學英文課程與學習目標

建議的年級：10-11

文學作為一種藝術形式，旨在挑戰現實的邊界。儘管文學是虛構的，只要說故事作為一種藝術形式存在，就會把敏銳的觀察和事實運用在人物的創造，設置和社會解釋中。人性和普遍性在哪裡消失，文學又是從何開始呢？ 寫小說實際上能比撰寫事實賦予作家更大的自由嗎？ 本課程將作為學生提高閱讀，創造力和論文寫作技巧的手段，以形成關於文學作品或觀點的論據。
