(Spring 2016)

Section Information for Spring 2016

How do we read literary works?  How do we teach that process to others?  This course addresses these questions by considering theories of reading and theoretical approaches to the teaching of literature as well as specific teaching practices and tools.  We'll pay special attention to the crucial role of writing in the literature classroom and to the role of reading in pedagogy of writing.  This course is designed for current teachers, those considering careers in teaching, and anyone drawn to the experience of reading and analyzing literature.  Most of our course readings are relevant to high school and college English classrooms, but many ideas we consider may be adapted for the teaching of younger readers.

ENGH 610 001 is open to all graduate students who are not serving as GTAs.
