- Course Catalog Description:
- This is a writing-intensive course that also meets the Literature Core requirement. From epic battles against monsters in legendary kingdoms to stories about characters in worlds similar to our own, literature engages us with the diverse perspectives and experiences that make up our communities and world. ENGL 1001W introduces students to ways of understanding and appreciating literature in English across cultures and historical periods. Throughout this course, we will develop skills to help us understand literature, especially the ability to read language closely (a skill valuable in many disciplines beyond literature). We will explore how writers use language and literary aspects, such as genre, voice, tone, symbol, motif, theme, imagery, narrative, and form. We also will learn how to write about literature, sharing our interpretations of how and why literary works have meaning for ourselves and others, while viewing them through critical cultural lenses, including ways to understand how gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and class can function in literary texts.
- Class Description:
- This writing-intensive course is designed for students who wish to develop a foundational understanding of literary study, inquiry, and analysis. This course is organized around literary genres, and thus will introduce students to the fundamentals of fiction, poetry, and drama. This course will also question the boundaries of genre and of the category "literature" itself. Throughout the semester, we will reflect on the central questions: "What is Literature" and "Why do we study it"?After successfully completing this class, students will be equipped with the basic critical vocabulary and toolset for engaging in literary study. They will be prepared to analyze literary voice, tone, symbol, motif, theme, imagery, narrative, and form, among other literary aspects. They will also be equipped with several critical cultural lenses, among them gender, race, ethnicity, class, language, and national identity.

- Class Description:
Language - speaking, writing, reading - is our primary mode of communication. Literature is simply the most "artistic" of our uses of language. Reading and talking about literature thus gives us practice in understanding the ways in which language - all language - can potentially affect us and the world around us. Literature (and, by extension, all art) does not exist in a bubble; it is in and of the world, and far from being some rarified or "frivolous" thing, it enacts the power of language at its most extreme. Learning to recognize that power (both its use and misuse) can give us enormous agency in the world. Because of this, the texts for this class are not important so much for "content" but as "raw material"
that we will work with in lecture, in discussion, and in your writing. Frankly, I don't care if you remember the exact stories or poems we read this semester; but if, 10 years from now, you find yourself affected powerfully by something you read or hear, and you find yourself stopping to think about why and how you are moved, I will consider this course a success.- Grading:
- Your grade will be based on formal writing, discussion participation, in-class work, and writing workshops. The S/N cut off will be B-
