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 on what they are reading.
• The teacher 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 crime in American and English literature, pursuing points that they feel deserve more thought.

Evaluation

There will be two basic kinds of questions: a) identifying and using ethics, moral, and legal terms and concepts (e.g. crime, motivation, evil) and b) essay questions designed to evaluate your careful reading of the works.
