War and Conspiracy: This is a semester long junior-senior level English elective course. Students who have a desire to examine themes connected to war and the human tendency toward conspiracy/conspiracy theories are strong candidates for this course.
This is a unique semester long course that will practice customary English skills (critical reading, thinking, discussion, and writing) but all within the war and conspiracy genres.
As this is a junior-senior level course, it is imperative that students have a strong interest in these genres and are willing to participate daily and frequently in class. Our world is changing so quickly and current/contemporary national and world events will be examined in this class. It also seems that with any major world event the internet quickly expouses potential alternative theories--conspiracy theories--about how and why these events really happened. As part of this course, we'll examine the human tendendcy to perpetuate these theories.
