HOME Course Documents American Literature

will be your guide to American Literature for the next five weeks. I say “guide” because that is what I will be –
someone who will help you navigate unfamiliar territory by pointing out trails that have been forged by people who came before you. HOWEVER, I don’t want to trap you believing these are the only answers, into being round; in fact, I encourage you to break out in rhomboidal planes and polyhedral whenever possible! In this class were will read and discuss literature and literacy and how these things fit into the world around us socially, intellectually, and professionally. We will used a variety of genres and media to create a central vocabulary and then to examine four major themes in our lives: race and ethnicity, war and social
conflict, class and power, and individual identity.
I have never taught this course the same
way twice because where it goes is dependent on YOU, the student and YOU, the
class. Remember to think critically and have fun with these texts!
