E 360R and RHE 379C (Topic: Literary Studies for High School Teachers of English) may not both be counted.

NOTE: Intended for students seeking a secondary school teaching certificate.

Prerequisites: Nine semester hours of coursework in English or rhetoric and writing.

Description: Designed for students planning a career teaching English, this course will introduce students to scholarship in literary studies that informs the teaching of literature today. Although it is not a methods course, E 360R will have a practical orientation: we will discuss the reasons for teaching literature, both historically and currently; we will examine some of the contemporary constraints on the teaching of English; and we will pursue how to best develop what Robert Scholes calls "Textual Power." Recognizing that texts are places where power and weakness become visible and discussable, where learning and ignorance manifest themselves, where structures that enable and constrain our thoughts and actions become palpable, this course will explore how the use of the study of literature can help students become better readers, writers, and thinkers.

Texts: 
Shakespeare, William, Othello; Cisneros, Sandra, The House on Mango Street; O’Brien, Tim, The Things They Carried; Course Packet at Speedway Printing.

Requirements & Grading: Attendance and participation, 10%; short response essays, 10%: peer response workshops, 10%; 2 essays (Essay 1 will under go a substantial revision with both student and teacher feedback), 60%; presentation, 10%.

Any academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to University policy, including assessment of the stiffest penalty that the instructor may assess (e.g., a failing grade in the course). The University may impose additional sanctions. Cheating in any form, including plagiarism and self-plagiarism, will not be tolerated. If you are unclear about what constitutes plagiarism, ask the instructor. 

     University Disability Statement:

Students with disabilities who require special accommodations need to get a letter that documents the disability from the Services for Students with Disabilities area of the Office of the Dean of Students (471-6259 or 471-4641 (TTY) for users who are hearing-impaired).  This letter should be presented to the instructor in each course at the beginning of the semester and accommodations needed should be discussed at that time.  Five (5) business days before an exam the student should remind the instructor of any testing accommodations that will be needed. See the following website for more information: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/ssd/providing.php
