Description
This course is intended for 2013-2014 instructors for ENL 3. The emphasis throughout will be on hands-on practice. I'll have you review some of the formal vocabulary and methods of close reading appropriate for teaching narrative, drama and poetry in ENL 3, and we'll discuss models for the teaching of each genre. We'll spend some considerable time in discussing ways of integrating the teaching of composition with literary analysis. In addition to these in-class exercises, I'll ask you to plan on visiting one of the ENL 3 courses being taught during the term. Books for the course are listed below, with ISBN numbers.
