English 12 Seminar: Comedy and Satire Honors

Designed to offer students a variety of options for literary study and flexible educational opportunities with increased responsibility and autonomy as they transition to college, each one-semester seminar involves in-depth study of texts through discussion, research, and writing that explores a genre or topic of literary significance. Students collaborate with peers to set goals and deadlines and actively take part in preparing for and shaping discussion to stimulate the well-reasoned and civil exchange of ideas. This seminar is taught in a blended format with some content delivered online.

Students read, discuss, and write about texts ranging from comedic plays and fictional works to humorous poems and essays as they explore how writers create and use comedy and satire. Some theoretical pieces are included for insight into the psychology of humor and the ethics of joking. After studying core texts, students make choices from several optional texts and try their hand at writing a comedic or satirical piece. The course culminates in a significant project involving research of primary and secondary sources to support an original literary argument. Instruction in college-level research skills helps students confidently navigate the process of online research using academic databases– from critically evaluating and synthesizing multiple sources and practicing the principles of academic integrity, to organizing and articulating complex ideas clearly and accurately as they support their claims with well-chosen evidence. This course is well-suited to independent learners who are accustomed to the pace and elevated level of honors reading and have demonstrated well-developed writing skills.
