Composition Four - Five

This thematic composition course is meant to accompany Great Books 4: The American Idea and Great Books 5: Return to Tradition. The assignments require students to "reflect & write" on questions discovered in the readings and discussed in Socratic discussion or to imitate the works read.  As a workshop, the paradigm involves drafting, assessing, editing, and rewriting work with peer input, rather than a sequential, lesson-based presentation.  Instructor feedback and guidance are provided through grading & tutor time.  There is no formal class meeting.
