ENG 2060 American Literature
American Literature introduces selected literature by American writers. Students consider this literature as a part of a multi-modal conversation with America's diverse and evolving cultures. Through regular reading and writing, students grow in confidence, coming to read with understanding, analyze with skill, and apply situations and lessons from literature to their own worlds. Learners also engage and reinforce critical thinking skills. By the end of the course, students should be able to identify conflict in short stories and drama; compare and contract works of literature; and produce sound written commentaries on assigned literature using evidence-based textual methodologies.
