Silko, Leslie Marmon. Penguin Books, 1986. ENH260 is designed to help you develop an understanding of and an appreciation for the American Southwest and the legends, stories, and poetry inspired by Southwestern places and lives. A specific focus of this course is the cultural diversity of the Southwest and the similar and different ways members of diverse cultural groups relate to and write, talk and sing about the Southwest. A major portion of your individual writing will be in the form of Learning Logs, in which you will record your personal response to the readings and additionally your response to certain issues which I raise.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date indicated.
Papers turned in after that time will be considered late, and the number of points awarded will be reduced. Learning Logs will not be accepted after the class has discussed the topic of the particular Log. Absence from class is not an excuse for a late paper. Write on lined binder paper or paper with perforated edges that will allow you to tear off a clean edge. Begin each Learning Log entry with the title of the reading and the date.
