ENG 363 TEACHING LITERATURE: CANONS, CULTURES AND CLASSROOMS
This course explores literature from the viewpoint of the teacher – exploring a wide range of issues relevant to classrooms, including reading theory, critical theory, censorship and canonicity, and cultural, multicultural, interdisciplinary and multimodal approaches. Students will read extensively in many genres of “classic” and “new canon” works, young adult and graphic novels, plays, poems and other texts, such as art, music and film.
Offered
Offered every other fall.
Notes
Although the primary focus of the course is secondary schools, it is useful for anyone interested in teaching at the middle grade or college levels, as well.
