Cíle předmětu
Description: This course consists of workshops that encourage students to engage in literary research and analysis. We will focus on two major literary works (for instance, N. Scott Momaday’s House Made of Dawn and Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing) that will serve as the core case studies for a semester-long research project. These readings will be supplemented by several brief selections that will provide further material for in-class discussion. Workshops will include presentations, group discussions, and quizes. Objectives: 1. To know how to locate and use primary and secondary materials in literary research. 2. To learn the techniques needed for literary analysis and writing essays. 3. To refine critical thinking and to improve communication capabilities. 4. To achieve a deeper understanding of how literature affects us and how it enriches our perception of the world.

Metody hodnocení
Assessment: class participation – 35%, research project portfolio – 65% The preliminary research sections of the research project portfolio should include 10-15 principal sources that are accessible in full-text versions from the Czech Republic. All the sections should follow the MLA style of documenting sources. If you decide to focus on author(s) other than Momaday and Atwood, you need to clear your choice with me first. The weekly RPP assignments are due on Tuesdays by 10:30 am. (The final version of the complete portfolio is due week 12 in class).
