It simultaneously aims to encourage students to develop a critical self-consciousness about pedagogical practice that will be useful in both the classroom and on the job market. To these ends, we will read a handful of essays that address pedagogical theory, in its broad contours and local instantiations, as a way to begin thinking about both our general function and aims as literature teachers and how to deal with particular kinds of texts or reach specific course goals. Most of our time, however, will be spent producing and discussing our own work: we will labor together as a class to create viable courses and assignments, while also developing multiple strategies for effectively lecturing, leading class discussion, and giving feedback on student work. By the end of the seminar, each participant will have created and circulated statements of teaching philosophy and a spectrum of materials for teaching one lower-level and one upper-level literature course in periods and genres of their choosing. These materials will include lesson plans, sample syllabi, and course assignments. Grades will be based on participants? final completion of these key documents, and on their consistent, engaged, and thoughtful participation in seminar discussions and workshops. Restriction(s): Restricted to English or Creative Writing major(s) or minor(s). Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
