The reference librarians are extremely helpful with research. We will be spending one day in the library to assist with research papers. I will assign the story to the student and at the beginning of class the student will deliver a 5-7 minute presentation on the story, using their own opinions as well as critical articles if they desire to do so. Please do not include biographical information about the author in this presentation. Again, see me or the reference librarians for suggestions.
Participation is crucial.
I would like each student to be prepared with at least three comments about the stories studied and read the night before. These comments may be personal opinions or may come from articles or books. The internet is a great source for information as well. Each class will begin with a discussion in small groups about the story.
