Fall and spring semesters, subject to enrollment

In this honors-level literature class, we consider how a work of science fiction channels its time period's hopes -- and fears -- about science, technology, and the future.  Students are expected to read up to 200 pages per week (25-30 pages per day) and to engage in timely, thoughtful written discussion, reflecting on if and how the issues raised continue to be relevant today.

Because of the pace and content, this high school literature class is for avid readers ages 14 and up.  Many students choose "Who We Are & What We Dream" as a creative, robust, intellectually engaging post-AP English class.  

Optional end-of-semester writing project for those who want more experiencing with literary essays.

Class designed with gifted learners in mind: fast pace, complex materials, high input, relatively low output.  For students who want to dig deep, not just check a box.
