My Project

Embark on a transformative literary journey with our high school independent study project, 'Bridging Bildungsroman.'

This initiative invites students to explore the rich genre of bildungsroman novels, unlocking not only the analytical depths of literature but also fostering a profound understanding of diverse human experiences.

Participants will individually select a bildungsroman novel, delving into the narrative intricacies that shape characters' growth and self-discovery. The project emphasizes the power of perspective, encouraging students to view the world through the lens of their chosen novel.

After a deep dive into their literary exploration, students will showcase their newfound insights through engaging and interactive presentations. These presentations will not only reflect their understanding of the novel but also demonstrate their ability to convey complex themes and symbols to their peers.

Complementing the oral component, students will craft a written essay delving into the core elements of their chosen bildungsroman, highlighting key themes and symbols that contribute to the overall narrative tapestry.

'Bridging Bildungsroman' is not just a study of literature; it's a dynamic voyage of self-discovery and empathetic exploration.
