ENGL 5 Reading with Attitude

This course introduces students to methods for reading literature and culture critically, including close reading, literary theory, and creative writing. Students will study traditional literary works, such as poetry and fiction, but they will also examine video games, graphic novels/comics, and genre fiction. Assignments will include traditional essays and creative projects. The course brings together considerations of art, philosophy, society, and politics in order to consider issues that range from identity in a globalized world to the pains and pleasures of romantic love.
