Framed occasionally by readings in recent pedagogical theory, our discussions will be organized around the following three projects: 1) we will analyze the comparative strengths of different teaching and course-design strategies in achieving a wide range of curricular goals in the literature classroom; 2) we will develop persuasive powerful ways of describing precisely what we do as teachers of literary and cultural studies, as well as why and how we do it; and 3) we will articulate flexible criteria for designing effective syllabi and assignments for different kinds of courses and texts. By the end of the seminar, each participant will have designed lesson plans teaching in several of the genres covered not only in “Introduction to Literary Studies” courses (the gateway to the major in many English departments across the country), but also in more advanced courses in each student’s area of research specialization. Each participant in the seminar will also produce polished drafts of several documents that form the textual core of the teaching portfolios that can be essential to success on the job market–including sample syllabi, assignment sequences, evaluation rubrics, and teaching philosophy statements. Grades will be based on participants’ completion and revision of these key documents, and on their consistent, engaged, and thoughtful participation in seminar discussions and workshops. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
