dirty ethel rackham Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am working on a preliminary transcript for ds16, a junior, who is leaving tomorrow for a college visit. His freshman year, we cobbled together a literature course from two different clubs. In one club, they read 8 works of Shakespeare where they met monthly and discussed the following works: Twelfth Night Romeo and Juliet The Tempest Macbeth The Taming of the Shrew Hamlet They had to do a final project. Ds did a comic strip on the final confrontation between Hamlet and Laertes - it was modern interpretation with Hamlet as an Emo dude and Laertes as a punk. We all thought it was quite creative and showed a unique understanding of the characters. In the other club, met monthly to discuss the following books: Lord of the Flies by William Golding Utopia by Sir Thomas More Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The Art of War by Sun Tzu Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen Frankenstein by Mary Shelley The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss They also did a few papers as well. So, what would you call this on a transcript? I have not titled things English 1, 2, 3 or anything (nor did I on my older son's transcript who was 4 for 4 on college acceptances.) The other classes I have on his transcript are Novels, Novellas and Plays and Short Stories and Film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks, but no NCAA aspirations. They don't have a Karate team or rock climbing team:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
