INTRODUCTION TWO DISCUSSION AND ASSIGNMENT

INTRO BELOW

Think of a piece of writing that is meaningful to you (this could be a story, poem, film script, or play). Why do you enjoy this work? How might the work be significant not only to you, but to society? If you cannot think of a piece of writing to share, please find a quote that speaks to you.

Write: Introduce yourself to the class. Then, share the quote or piece of writing that you find meaningful with the class and include an explanation as to why this quote is significant to you and what you think it means. If possible, provide a link to the work or quote for others to gain information. Make sure that your introductory post is at least 200 words in length

DISCUSSION 1 BELOW

Reflect: Chapter 1 of our text provides a number of reasons why people choose to explore literature. Clugston (2014) writes that there is “a powerful curiosity about human relationships and how to cope in the world in which we find ourselves” (Section 1.1, para. 2). The text gives a number of general motivations for reading, but it is helpful to put those motivations into context. Consider what your motivations are for reading.

Write: Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, not including references. In your post, answer the following questions:

What does literature offer an individual?
How has the importance of reading changed from earlier eras (pre-digital/audio/visual media) to our present day? Do you think we read differently now than we did in prior generations?
Do you think Clugston’s quote is valid? How have perceptions regarding the value of literature changed, if at all?
What causes people’s perceptions regarding the value of literature to change?
Incorporate readings found in Chapters 1 through 3 to help illustrate the points you make

DISCUSSION 2 BELOW

Prepare: Prior to writing your initial post, read Chapters 1 through 3 of Journey into Literature.

Reflect: As we explored in the “Why Read Literature?” discussion, literature can provide us with a multitude of perspectives, ideas, and experiences. Additionally, there is a long tradition of critical reading and writing about literature (i.e., analyzing literature to seek a deeper understanding about various interests and concerns). Chapter 2 focuses on these ideas. Consider why people write and how that writing may benefit us.

Write: Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. The minimum word count does not include references. In your post, answer the following questions:

Why might a writer feel compelled to write about literature? How does it benefit us personally and/or professionally?
What kind of writing and thinking skills do you hope that you will develop in this course based on the description of writing about literature in Sections 1.1, 2.1, and 2.3 of the text?
Incorporate readings found in Chapters 1 through 3 to help illustrate the points you make.

ASSIGNMENT

n Week Five of this course, you will submit a four- to five-page Literary Analysis in response to one of the topics from the approved List of Writing Prompts. This week, you will choose the topic you would like to explore, offer some information on what interests you about this topic, and supply a working thesis and key ideas you would like to develop.
