  • ELED 286I: Special Topic: Building Literacy Strategies by Exploring the Connection Between Cultural Influences, Italian Folklore and Children’s Literature

    Semester Hours: 3

    This course considers the influence of society and cultural on children’s literature and the development of literacy. Folktales, myths and tall tales are stories about people and their nature. They come to American literature from a variety of sources. This course will explore the Italian influence on various aspect of American literature and then these influences will be related to other cultures. The emphasis in the course is that the reader is the key element in the creation of a literary work. Students, therefore, will have the opportunity to read many tales, myths and discuss a variety of authors who were influenced by the Italian culture. They will discuss the quality and characteristics of good multicultural literature. Through these experiences and making connections to their own cultural history, students will grow in their knowledge of the elements of literature. Using Italian folktales and myths, students will compare these to other cultures and then build differentiated lessons, which meet the needs of the diverse learners in their classes. Students will have the opportunity to integrate the arts into their lesson planning. They will explore how readers theatre and drama can serve as a vehicle for building literacy skills and cultural awareness. Additionally they will enhance their instruction of the folktales through the use of puppetry and felt board figures.

      Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Students will tour historical landmarks and museums in Rome, Florence and the Amalfi coast and develop a resource portfolio. Tours will be provided by local experts in each area. Travel fees additional. For further information contact Dr. Esther Fusco.

  • ENGL 198R: Special Studies: American Rebels

    Semester Hours: 3
    This is a distance learning course offered online. Please contact the English Department for registration procedures. Americans like to think of themselves as innovators and adventurers. Like immigrants willing to risk all for a chance at another life, we, as a society and culture, seem to pride ourselves on our native ability to seize the time, oppose the commonplace, and strike out on our own. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his seminal essay “Self Reliance,” seemed to be speaking for all Americans when he wrote, “No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.” If everyone has the duty to be bad, then bad becomes the universal good. This online course will examine rebellious writers of America’s first great literary century—roughly the period from 1790 to 1900. The writers we will consider—John Marrant, Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Henry James, Kate Chopin, and, of course, Emerson—are remembered for their fierce moral commitments. In giving voice to conscience they stood out against their time—and, often, against each other. But their revolutionary stance as often looked to the past as to the future. Some, like Marrant and Hawthorne, wanted to purify their time by reviving old ways. Others, like Douglass and Emerson, wanted to shatter convention and bring revolutionary change. Still others, like James, Melville, and Chopin, depicted rebels defeated by the forces they tried to oppose. In following their stories, we will watch a cultural conversation come into sharp focus, one that attempts to define a new nation’s values by challenging its most cherished ideals. Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: WSC 001 .

Readings will be chosen according to each student’s prior experience and interests. Rather than a chronological approach with division into literary movements, the student will choose, upon advisement, one or more themes (e.g., the artist and society, literature of social protest, the role of women, the search for identity) which will be pursued by private reading, followed by written reports and/or oral reports to the whole class. The student who has taken four or more courses in this sequence can be expected to have gained sufficient insight into literary genres and movements to be able to undertake, in the senior year, a synthesis of German literature. A detailed personal record of reading progress will be maintained to assure the systematic development of each student’s facility in literary criticism.
