Activities

1. Course work:

• For each of the assigned tasks students will write about their experience on reading a literary piece.
• Students will bring their work to class, swap the texts with colleagues, and, in small groups, discuss their feelings and opinions. The idea is to preserve their impressions of the readings, develop useful notes, and to reflect upon what they are reading.
• The instructor will collect the students' comments after the discussion and return them to the students at the next class. Students should date and identify each of the entries and keep them in some kind of notebook or folder once they are returned to them.

2. After class:

Students continue to read and research 20th-century American literature, pursuing points that they feel deserve more thought.

Evaluation

Grades will reflect journal writing, participation in discussions, and exam taking.

There will be a basic kind of question: essay questions designed to evaluate your careful reading of the works.
