Class Description:
Why do we read literature? What do we mean when we say we love a story, character, or happening in a book? How do written words on a page or screen captivate our attention and evoke our emotions? Comparing readings with shared themes across different literary styles and genres, we will explore how narrative, poetry, and drama each communicate differently. We will discuss how narration (the telling of stories) represents events in time and gives them meaning. In studying poetry, we will concentrate on often over-looked aspects of language: how sound, rhythm, and form work together to heighten words' impact. By reading plays written for performance, we will consider both the richness of written scripts and their openness to collaborative transformation in live productions and films. Along with these basic properties of literary genre, we will learn to identify more nuanced aspects of literary form including tone, figurative language, characterization, setting, plotting, and thematic development. Readings will include both contemporary popular literature and canonically recognized texts, giving us the opportunity to enjoy young adult fiction, creative non-fiction, graphic novels, myths, song lyrics, and fairy tales as well as the work of traditionally recognized literary greats. Assignments will include short tests, informal writing assignments that will help prepare you to craft formal essays, formal essays, and one revised essay. Classroom activities will include interactive lecture, small group discussions, brainstorming, reading and writing exercises, and consideration of supplemental audio-visual materials.
