A course in teaching secondary literature and grammar. Students wishing to teach at the secondary school level will survey required course texts and develop strategies for teaching literature, grammar, and writing. In the process, students will share research into secondary sources in these areas. They will also design group projects and present them to their peers. This course allows future secondary English teachers to combine their experience studying texts, grammar and writing as English majors with their assignments in education courses, preparing them more completely for classroom experience. It acts as a laboratory for the Department of Education, supplmenting its curriculum. ( Also listed as EDU 220.)

3.00 Credits
Prepared by the Introduction to Literary Studies and Critical Theory courses to read individual works closely, students at the 300s level investigate the relationship between texts and the contexts within which they are produced. While these context courses are not seminars, they still call for the development of self awareness and, consequently, self reliance. Identifying cultural contexts that are both familiar and foreign challenges students to take part in an investigation of their reading and writing experiences in ways that recall, broaden, and deepen the investigations begun in ENG 240. Through the context courses, majors explore their own cultural context and the cultural assumptions that permeate their ways of making and responding to texts. Here they also experience other students’ ways of reading and assessing texts through the processes of collaborative writing and peer review, used at this level to nurture the community of learners established in ENG 240 and fostered by Experiential Studies. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: successful completion of ENG 240 and 250.

3.00 Credits
These seminars study literary texts from several critical and theoretical stances. The courses help students develop strategies for assessing the ways that meaning becomes evident in texts, in readers, and in writers. In addition to reading and interpreting texts within contexts, the 400s seminars regard works through or in the light of perspectives offered by critical theories. Not only do students in these seminars complete a higher degree of creative and critical thinking, but they also participate more fully in leading the courses. The inquiry into theory, and when appropriate, its application, stresses independent assessment, peer evaluation, and assertion of ethical choices as they pertain to meaning and contexts. Prerequisites: successful completion of at least two ENG 300s courses.
-
3.00 Credits
These courses are designed to foster on campus or off campus participation in a variety of areas. Students select experiences under the guidance of an adviser and are encouraged to consider community service projects as well as more traditional internships and field experiences related more closely to the English major. Prerequisite: junior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
A course concentrating on the advanced bibliographical tools available to students of literary texts. Students will review, expand, deepen, and broaden their familiarity with library resources and research methods suited particularly to the creation and study of literary texts. The course will culminate in each student’s production of a comprehensive proposal for the final independent study project to be completed as part of the requirement for ENG 602. (See also guidelines for College Honors in English.) Prerequisites: advanced junior standing and permission of the department.
