Mystery fiction is a popular reading genre.
Hundreds of novels and short stories are published each year. This class will use mystery fiction as a point to start discussions on good and evil, justice and revenge, morality and legality, etc. You will hand in your journal at the beginning of every class period. In your journal will be notes from your in-class discussions, the discussions you monitor outside of class, notes for your final presentation, assignments, and any other thoughts you might want to record. If you run into words that you don't understand, write them down and then look for the meaning and include it.
