This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their understanding of a new geographical region’s intellectual growth and influence. Students will use various poetic terms to describe and develop ideas to discuss the poems they read and draw out meanings. Students will determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.
As a teacher from South East Asia, I bring a personal connection to the subject and themes discussed in these poems. As a teacher of literature and the humanities, I bring the knowledge of assessing and parsing them. With this dual connection to the poets and poems chosen for this class, I bring, engagement, excitement and relevance to each session.
