Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will focus on classic American short stories that students in the teacher training programs will be able to use in their future classrooms. After a brief introduction to the short story as a genre and its history in American literature, students will work on individual stories in small groups and devise strategies for teaching. Based on this work, the teams will conduct short presentations in the second and third sessions. A written version of the presentation has to be handed in by Jan. 31.
The course will also feature a guest lecture by Prof. Laura Bieger on "What Happens When We Read (and Why Do We Like Reading Fiction)?"
