Outline and objectives

This is a content based English language course which uses horror films as the content of the course. Themes covered include concepts of Good and Evil , guilt and innocence , class conflict and the status of women in society

Goal

For first year students who have successfully completed their high-school English classes.
There will continue to be a focus on listening and note taking skills supplemented by readings which both reinforce the lectures and introduce additional topics for writing and discussion. Throughout the semester writing skills will emphasized which lead to the production of coherent, cohesive multi-paragraph essays. Students will comment on lectures and readings and ask and answer questions through the HOPPII system as well as (hopefully) zoom meetings from time to time.
