ENG 214 - Literature/ Pacific Northwest

Institution:

Clatsop Community College

Subject:

Description:

Through an on-site educational experience and the reading and writing about literature, this course is designed to encourage an appreciation and understanding of the interplay of literature and place, with an emphasis upon the northern coast of Oregon. Through the study, discussion and writing about selected literature of the Pacific Northwest and through the direct observation of our natural environment (field trips!) we will learn about the cultural and environmental factors that have shaped this region's landscape and literature. Our class will be encouraged to become sensitive observers of the area and to communicate our ideas about folklore, place & environment through small group and individual projects and presentations and written and oral dialogue. We will discuss how literature influences perceptions, uses and modifications of the land. Examples and literary models will be drawn primarily from the coastal Northwest. We will also discover the perceptions and practices of Native Americans and other populations who have lived in this region through their stories. SPRING 2009 - 2010
