We will begin by reading two books by noted English professors addressing the teaching of literature?Elaine Showalter?s Teaching Literature and Jane Tompkins?s A Life In School: What the Teacher Learned?to grapple with our own personal and professional stakes in literary pedagogy. We will then direct our attention to a cluster of articles more broadly pertaining to undergraduate teaching and the role of the humanities in higher education. Our final goal entails generating and discussing materials that will prove essential for offering one?s own literature courses (i.e., sample syllabi, lesson plans, lectures, PowerPoint presentations and course assignments). Restriction(s): Restricted to English or Creative Writing major(s) or minor(s). Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
