In this class, students will be given a news or opinion piece on world events, and asked to read between the lines. We'll have a discussion afterwards of what they processed from the article. Through this discussion, we'll talk about what the author is really trying to say, what the author is implying, what biases the author might hold, and what rhetorical tools are employed. Then we'll continue to talk about the subject matter presented, and practice expressing our opinions in an effective way.
