Final Projects!

There are two components to your final project; one part is group-related and one individual. For your group project, you will explore a field of English Studies and present on it to the class. The presentations will last 25 minutes or so and need to involve interviewing an instructor who teaches in the field and analyzing a relevant text that can be shared with students. It may also involve a performative or pedagogical element, e.g. you might want to create a powerpoint about the field you're studying, produce a short video, or lead the class in performing an analysis of a text within the rubric of your chosen field. By next Tuesday, you need to give me two possible areas your group might want to explore. I ask you to do this so that we don't have every group focusing on the same areas.

The second component of your final necessitates that you embark on a project of your own choosing that examines practices of reading and writing in at least two fields of English, relating them to a shared text or subject matter. Your work can take the form of a written paper, a website, a blog, a video, a sound file, a comic book, a zine, or the like. Be as creative as possible! I will show you some examples of student projects in class.
