Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn about the history of the Gothic literary "movement" and style, as well as six short stories, literary devices and how they are used within each story, as well as how all of these pieces fit together to make meaning.
I have a Ph.D. in English and Literature. I have taught in both university and high school English classes and worked with elementary age students with ESL and English and language arts.
The homework is to read the stories before each class and to come to class prepared to talk about them.
You may wish to buy the stories, however, all the stories are available online: "The Wife's Story" Ursula Leguin (available online) "The Yellow Wallpaper" Charlotte Perkins Gilman "The Tell-Tale Heart"/ "The Cask of Amontillado" E. A. Poe "A Rose for Emily" William Faulkner "The Lottery" Shirley Jackson "Young Goodman Brown" Nathaniel Hawthorne
1 hour 50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Some stories may have some violent imagery/ sexual imagery, but never explicit. However, class discussion may bring it up as it pertains to the meaning of some of the stories.
"The Wife's Story" Ursula Leguin (available online) "The Yellow Wallpaper" Charlotte Perkins Gilman "The Tell-Tale Heart"/ "The Cask of Amontillado" E. A. Poe "A Rose for Emily" William Faulkner "The Lottery" Shirley Jackson "Young Goodman Brown" Nathaniel Hawthorne
