Literary analysis doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—your student just needs a clear, guided path. This self-paced course helps students break down the process of literary analysis into manageable, confidence-building steps. Through engaging video lessons, they’ll learn how to closely read a text, identify literary elements, and write a polished literary analysis essay—without the stress.
Using Sharon Olds’ poem “Ode to Dirt” as a class model, students can choose to analyze that poem or apply the same method to a literary work of their own. From planning to final draft, they’ll gain tools they can use again and again—so the next time they’re asked to analyze literature, they’ll know exactly what to do.
Perfect for middle and high school students who want flexible support and lasting writing skills.
