Introduction to Multi-Genre Reading
in Literature 100
Professor Tracie Morris
Tmorris4@emich.edu
602D Pray-Harrold
This class is a survey of four
literary forms: Poetry, Fiction, Creative non-fiction and Playwriting.
We will conduct close reading of the text, it's value in society
and presentation in multiple media. We will also do some creative
writing, but the focus on the class will be analysis of the work
we read.
The requirements are consistent
attendance and promptness (this is mandatory), active participation
and a final 12 – 15 page
paper. It is due the on the last day of class. No late papers will
be accepted and no incompletes are offered for this class.
We will look at what makes certain forms of literature effective,
what draws us in as readers and what themes we find consistently
explored irrespective of genre.
We will look at "classic" literature and contemporary
work. Please note some of the work we will consider will be of
a more adult nature. The class may include additional assignments
if the professor deems it to be helpful to course development.
