Course Synopsis
Literary Criticism II requires students to study, evaluate, and interpret what they read — a valuable tool for all students. This course focuses on helping students develop the tools necessary to closely read, evaluate, and appreciate literature. In this course, focus is on providing learners with examples of literary criticism from the masters. As the term goes on, students are provided with literary criticism from certain books that they read. As students read and digest these wonderful models of literary criticism, they begin to internalize the different styles and techniques used to create them.
The true challenge comes when students are asked to do their own literary critique of a novel, providing them only with the framework of reading, exploring, and focusing to guide them. The steps to doing the literary analysis are reading, exploration and examination, convergence and focus.
Course Learning Outcomes
The goal is that learners will begin to recognize patterns in literature and to make connections. These connections may be between a work and the reader's experience. They may be between and among readers. Or, as in comparative claims, they may be between and among works of literature. Examining and exploring these connections will help students become able to write their own essays of literary criticism.
The next step in helping students think critically about literature is to ask them to write essays using prompts that zone in on the ideas and details that make up a literary criticism. For example, they might be asked to write an analysis of religious imagery in King Lear etc. As students continue to write essays of literary analysis throughout the year, they become more familiar with the deep examination that results from the critical and careful reading of a text.
