	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	32290	Lecture-Discussion	E	1:00PM -2:50PM	F	English Building	Barrett, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Teaching of Literature Section Info: Topic Section E: The Teaching of Literature This seminar concentrates on preparing graduate students to teach literature courses in three of the most common pedagogical genres within English studies: the introductory-level course for non-majors, the national or period literature survey course for majors, and the upper-division topic seminar. We will read and discuss some pedagogical theory, but the class will primarily focus on the practical, with an eye toward generating a teaching portfolio containing documents of value on the academic job market: a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi for each genre of course, sample lesson plans for the same, and sample course assignments. This portfolio will be put together week by week during the semester, and much of it will be generated and revised through peer review—expect to talk to one another about not only planning for the literature classroom but also about debriefing what happens within it! From time to time, I’ll bring in faculty speakers to share their own experiences grappling with pedagogical issues. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to English or Creative Writing major(s) or minor(s).

The seminar will focus on lesson planning, creating audio-visual toolkits, moderating discussions, crafting assignments, and other pedagogical issues. We will therefore focus on four principle undertakings: 1) drawing up lesson plans around a textbook and learning to augment them with information from other sources; 2) making persuasive audio-visual material that illuminate the technical and critical aspects of cinema; 3) sharpening a teaching philosophy that informs the whole pedagogic project and clarifies why a study of cinema is important in our media driven age; and 4) practical matters like effective syllabi and assignments. By the end of the semester, participants will have a portfolio of key documents and digital material that will be of practical use in the teaching of film and in the presentation of a competitive teaching profile in the academic job market. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
