L‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍iterary Advocacy Project—Assignment Sheet and Overview above: Holt textbook cover (1st ed.) Background and Purpose Given the very limited amount of time in a standard academic semester, it is impossible to provide due and proper attention to all the artists and creators that deserve it. In that spirit, the purpose of this project is for students to shine a spotlight on a writer / literary artist that we have not (and will not) cover(ed) this semester (i.e. imagine that you are going to teach this course in the future and you have to design a syllabus / reading list…). Note: you will have to “preview” forthcoming weekly subjects from our course syllabus in order to choose an appropriate figure. Timeline / Scope Because this course is African-American Literature II (Harlem Renaissance to Present), the chosen subjects should fit the time period of post 1900. Topics to Include (but not limited to…) Biographic Overview Selection of Important Works Contributions to Society Criticisms and Controversies Reasons Why We Should Read This Person’s Work… ENGL 216 Course Outcomes (from syllabus / for reference) Upon successful completion of this course, students should… 1. Read a significant survey of the texts that make-up what is considered to be the “canon” of African-American Literature. (Note: composed after and including The Harlem Renaissance). 2. Comprehend the way major works reflect the origins of African-American/Black culture and ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ “Pan Africanism” at various points in history. 3. Consider genres including, but not limited to: poetry, fiction, drama, personal essay, narrative, speech, jazz, blues, R&B, hip-hop, rap, spoken word, etc. 4. Recognize in literary and historical texts themes that continue to challenge African-American philosophies (. slavery vs. freedom, class, social position, disparity, gender and race consciousness, racism, discrimination, violence, religious values, family, identity formation, etc.). Plagiarism and Academic Honesty The Internet is a terrible place. If you must go there, don’t steal from it. If you would like to conduct some “research,” plan to cite / give credit accordingly. A friendly reminder: if you plagiarize in any way—especially by way of “copying and pasting” (without giving proper credit)—you will receive a zero on this assignment and face serious academic consequences.
