BRIX’s “Academic Prep: Literature” is an advanced literature and writing course for students who want to prepare for the rigors of upper-level, high school, and college literature. The class will dive into the key literary and stylistic devices necessary for higher-level analysis of literature and texts and later students will read, analyze, and discuss a wide range of literature from different time periods. Finally, based on what the students have read and learned, they will write critical literary analysis papers as well as argumentative and compare/contrast essays which will allow them to hone their writing abilities.
