**The reading list is extensive, so students need to be prepared to dive into this literature based study with the intent on staying up with the class. Essay and creative writing mini lessons will be integrated into the co-op lessons and students can expect writing assignments weekly. Students who are late on three or more assignments (late assignments must still be completed) will be excused from the course. This course is for advanced juniors and seniors only.
