Section Information for Fall 2021

In this course, we will focus on the Fantasy genre of literature. Fantasy fiction offers unique commentary on culture and humanity. As we read each text, you will need to actively engage with the content. The stories we will read may seem fantastic, but they all speak to some cultural or universal experience. As you read, seek to identify common themes regarding society, politics, and/or culture. Consider how you might relate these texts to your own experiences or to other texts you enjoy. To help you develop your analytical skills, you will complete formal assignments including video presentations, a textual analysis essay, and a final creative project. Along with these formal assignments, you will also be expected to work closely with your classmates and to actively participate in all lesson activities, group work, and class discussions.
