Create clear, complex claims.

Revise.
Decide for yourselves how to use these abilities. Our fancy word is: Metacognition.
General method of instruction
Lecture and class discussion. I'm not really big on lectures, but there will be a few short ones. This is a Computer Integrated Classroom, so we'll be using fancy technology to bring the discussion of literature into the 21st century. Yay technology!
