Course Catalog Description:
This course combines academic analysis and experiential learning to understand, in both theory and practice, different perspectives on the power of "protest" in civic life. We will read a selection from the vast genre of progressive protest literature (pamphlets, poems, polemics, lists of demands, teaching philosophies, organizing principles, cultural histories, newsletter articles, movement chronicles, and excerpts from novels and biographies) from four key social-justice movements: the American Indian Movement, the Black Power movement, the post-Great Recession struggle for economic power, and the battle for immigrant rights. We'll also learn about this experientially as we roll up our sleeves and get involved in local community-based education initiatives and local social-justice organizations through our service-learning. Students receive initial training from CLA Career Services, The Center for Community-Engaged Learning, the Minnesota Literacy Council, as well as orientations at community sites.
Class Description:

English 3505 is a unique course combining academic analysis with off-campus community-based education. In class, students will read a selection of "protest literature" (poems, speeches, manifestos, lists of demands,organizing manuals, teaching philosophies, histories of alternative schools, excerpts from novels and autobiographies) from past and present social movements. We'll analyze these texts from both academic and activist angles; we'll also attend to the education practices and organizing principles animating these movements. Studying the ways that education and community organizing converge and diverge will guide students as they move from thinking and theorizing in class to "community action" outside of class: working 2 hours per week at local education initiatives and social-justice organizations. Interested students can go on to take English 3506 in the spring semester. Think you might want to teach, work at a nonprofit, or organize for social change after graduating? This is the course for you.

Who Should Take This Class?:

Students from ALL majors are welcome. Do you care about social justice, and think you might want to teach elementary or high-school after graduating? Or teach adults who are learning English here or abroad? Or work for social change in the grassroots or nonprofit sector? If you're considering any of these, this course will give you theoretical grounding and practical exposure. On the other hand, maybe you're just passionate about volunteering. Getting involved. Showing up. Or maybe you're trying to be a more active citizen or a more civil activist. This course will provide you with a supportive environment for experimenting with these possibilities and help you think critically about your service-learning experience.



Workload:
Assignments include several short reflections, two academic papers, and class presentations. 2 hours per week at community organization. Fulfills the CLE "Diversity and Social Justice in the U.S."

http://classinfo.umn.edu/?daig0004+ENGL3505+Fall2016
Class Description:
This is the first of a two-semester course integrating community-based learning with academic analysis. Students in this course will be expected to take English 3506 in the spring. During the first semester (English 3505), students work 2-3 hours per week at elementary schools, high schools, adult education centers, and non-profit organizations. In class, we read about alternative teaching and learning theories, different kinds of literacy, and the contradictions of education systems when we factor in considerations such as justice and equality, as well as the questions raised by the often adversarial relationship between capitalism and democracy. We explore the connections and disconnects between the theories that we read about and the hands-on experiential work we're doing at our community organizations. All of these investigations will lay the groundwork for project-based learning and action plans in the spring semester (English 3506). Do you care about social justice, and think you might want to teach elementary or high school after graduating? Or teach adults who are learning English here or abroad? Or work in the non-profit or grassroots sector? You will get both theoretical grounding and practical exposure in this unique course. Need "hours" to apply to a licensure or MEd program? Or for the Community Engaged Scholars Program? Get those hours in a supportive classroom that provides institutional incentives and helps you think critically about your experiences.

Class Description:
This is the first of a two-semester course integrating community-based learning with academic analysis. Students in this course will be expected to take English 3506 in the spring. The course examines the politics of literacy and education in the U.S. Students will tutor, teach, or classroom assist 3-4 hours per week at a local organization (K-12 or adult education / English Language Learning). All the while, we will read and discuss literacy, educational, and cultural theory as we do exciting projects and assignments that connect these theories to what we're learning in our community-based practices. Class formats are discussion-based. Assignments include several short reflection papers, two academic papers, and class presentations. Think you might want to teach or work at a nonprofit after graduating? This is the course for you.
