Optional Assignment*

The optional assignment is to encourage you to use your training in another discipline to produce a different method of reading literary texts. For example, if you are an English major and a History Minor, you can write a historical essay rather than a literary one. If you are a Politics Major and an English Medial, you can write an essay which resembles one that you are likely to write for a Politics course. Your subjects or objects of investigation will still be the literary texts in this course, but your approach will be one that draws on your knowledge of a different discipline and the kinds of questions and vocabulary that are germane to it. This assignment can also involve a creative option: art, music, performance, digital media, poetry including spoken work, dramatic sketches or stand up comedy, journalism, video, and fiction. See details in syllabus.
