ENG 105:06; Introduction to Narrative Nancy Gray Bucknall
Spring 2003, TR
Office Hours: TR
McIver 330 email: Nancy_Bucknall@uncg.edu
For Whom Planned:
Introduction to Narrative is a three credit hour course that meets the Literature requirement of the General Education Curriculum. This section is also designated writing Intensive.
Catalog Description:
Critical
reading and analysis of American and British novels, short stories, and
narrative poems.
Attention to historical, cultural, and literary backgrounds as appropriate.
Student Learning
Outcomes:
On completion of
this course, the student will be able to:
Required Texts:
I
Am One of You Forever, Fred Chappell, LSU Press, 1985
Jim
the Boy,
Tony Early, Little, Brown & Company, 2000
The
Practical Heart, Vintage, 2001
Woodrow’s
Trumpet: A Novel, Down Home Press, 1989
Creatures
of Habit: Stories, Jill McCorkle, 2001
The
Devil’s Dream: A Novel, Lee Smith, 1992
Teaching Strategies:
Class discussion will play an important role in each class and will serve as starting point for the writing assignments in this writing intensive section. I will rarely lecture; students should always come to class ready to engage in active, lively & careful reading and discussion.
Evaluation Methods & Guidelines for Assignments:
Students will be responsible for the following:
Daily
Book
Review #1 10%
Book
Review #2 10%
Literary
Analysis #1 20%
Literary
Analysis #2 20%
Writing
Workshop Participation 15%
Group
Discussion 10%
*Please note that failure to submit any of the writing assignments will result in failing the course
I
expect all students to act in accordance with the UNCG Academic Integrity
Policy. If you are unfamiliar with this policy, you can review its contents at:
http://saf.dept.uncg.edu/studiscp/Honor.html
A discussion is only as good as the people taking part in it; if you aren’t in class ready to discuss the days reading, you aren’t meeting your basic responsibility to yourself or to this class. Any missed classes detract from your learning. Should you miss more than 6 class periods for any reason, you will fail the course. If you think this attendance policy will be difficult for you to meet, I seriously urge you to carefully consider your continued enrolment in the course.
