other than for the sheer fun of it  Why Study Literature? other than for the sheer fun of it 

The first five minutes of this video show Robinson’s argument that our current model of education is still based on Enlightenment ideals and the separation of academic and economic knowledge (smart people and not smart people, the educated and the workers) and how this model is what is causing what he calls “the false epidemic” of ADHD.

Skills Needed to Read Literature: Literacy in the Language (English in our case) Emotional Curiosity (both about your own emotions and the emotions of others) Patience Skills Reading Literature Will Teach You: Emotional Curiosity Empathy Divergent Thinking

How to approach Literature the first time First the Facts: What happens? Where? Who does it or who does it happen to? Characters Plot line Setting Genre Next the Feelings: Did you like it? Why? How did it make you feel as you read? What made you feel that way? Then the analysis: Is the text making larger cultural points? What? Why? How? Does the text relate to other texts we have read? What? How? How does the genre of the text affect any and all of the above?

Genre: a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content: can be a broad term (fiction/non-fiction) or much more specific (mystery novel) Each genre is characterized by specific characteristics which we expect going in and which color the way we read and interpret literature. Ex: Can you give me one characteristic of a novel? What about a diary? How does the difference in genre shape your expectations of these two types of literature?

Literary Devices: Allusion Analogy Anecdote Anthropomorphism Archetype Authorial Intrusion Bildungsroman Connotation /Denotation Diction Ekphrastic Epithet Euphemism Faulty Parallelism Flashback Foil Foreshadowing Hyperbole Imagery Irony Juxtaposition Litotes Metaphor Mood Motif Personification Plot Point of View Rhythm/ Rhyme Satire Simile Symbol Synesthesia Theme Tone Verisimilitude Each of you will take one of these devices: 5 min to find a definition and an example.
