  • Modernism
    • Read the poem "Digging" by Seamus Heaney and discuss its qualities of postmodern (post WW2) writing.
      • Qualities of postmodern literature:
        1. focus on reader's response to / experience of literature
        2. fractured narrative
        3. paradox
        4. unreliable narrator
        5. metafiction
        6. lack of realism / magical realism

  • Semester Exam Website                Class time given for this project so far:  18.5 hours
    • NOTE: I have removed the requirement for a page on your website for contemporary (21st century) literature. Your final website needs to deal with 7 literary time periods: Classical, Anglo-Saxon, Middle Ages. Renaissance, Romantic Era, Victorian Era, 20th century (modernism / postmodernism).
    • I will not be grading your website again until the final is due on Mon. 5/13/19. If you want feedback on your work, you can let me know and I will be glad to tell you how I think you are doing. If you have a certain score in mind, let me know and I can tell you if you are on track for that score or what needs to be done to meet the expectations for that score.
