1xbet online casino Description

The city of London has been a center for art and commerce for centuries. It has also been a city of immigrants, especially with the arrival in 1948 of the Empire Windrush. Traveling from the far reaches of a fading Empire, this ship's passengers hoped for a better life in the mother country but arrived in a city whose doors were often closed to people of color, a city ravaged by the bombs of World War II. What kind of London emerged from the rubble of war? What kinds of lives did these new immigrants build? How did existing Londoners respond? What is the legacy of this immigration in contemporary British culture? During the next few months, we 1xbet online casino explore answers to these questions as we study the culture of post-WWII Britain through its literature.

1xbet online casino Objectives

• To become familiar with a particular period of 1xbet online casino literary and cultural history
• To use relevant cultural and historical information when interpreting 1xbet online casino , film, and other cultural texts
• To participate in lively and informed 1xbet online casino about our reading and films
• To develop and apply critical skills for 1xbet online casino , thinking, and writing about several genres
  – 1xbet online casino a literary or cultural text conveys (1xbet online casino themes, 1xbet online casino view of the world)
  – how a literary or cultural text conveys that knowledge (1xbet online casino aesthetic form, 1xbet online casino selection/omission of detail)
• To contribute to current conversations about literature of 1xbet online casino (Grad students: to develop a publishable idea and thus enter the existing critical conversation about literature of 1xbet online casino through a research-based, scholarly argument that intervenes in and advances that conversation.)

Readings and 1xbet online casino Participation: Given the course objectives stated above, this class will foreground discussion. Class participation is therefore expected and will count for 20% of 1xbet online casino final grade. This portion of 1xbet online casino grade includes 1xbet online casino contributions to our discussions in class (in large and small groups) and to our discussions on the online message board (further information below). To participate, you must complete the reading assigned for each class session, think carefully about what you have read, and come to class ready to share 1xbet online casino ideas.

Attendance: The University requires that students attend all classes in which they are enrolled, and so 1xbet online casino attendance is required. Further, 1xbet online casino attendance is important to the success of our discussions. I recognize, though, that the unexpected will happen. Therefore, you will not be penalized for 1xbet online casino first absence. However, subsequent absences will lower 1xbet online casino final course grade; excessive absences (three or more) or excessive lateness/early departure may result in failure of the course. While I appreciate 1xbet online casino offering explanations for 1xbet online casino absence, the only way to excuse an absence is to provide me with an official letter from 1xbet online casino Dean or the Graduate School or an official notice of illness from the Health Center or 1xbet online casino doctor. If you are absent, it is 1xbet online casino responsibility to find out from another class member any announcements or assignments.

1xbet online casino Discussion Questions / "Continuities": As part of the 1xbet online casino participation grade, students will complete two scheduled contributions.

Students will sign up in pairs to initiate discussion for one of our class sessions. Questions for class discussion (4-5 in number) should highlight issues or themes or queries 1xbet online casino think we should address in our class discussion of the reading assigned for that day. Critical commentaries or historical context assigned for that class session can be included, too, to help us explore the primary reading. After conferring about and drafting the questions, pairs leading discussion should email me their questions by 6 p.m. the night before; I will confirm receipt and offer any suggestions for the order or focus of the questions

The first evening of 1xbet online casino , students will draw a reading selection from Peter Ackroyd's 1xbet online casino : The Biography; this reading selection should be incorporated into our discussions for the designated class period through two venues: an additional posting to the online message board and a brief (5 minute) contribution to discussion in class highlighting 3-4 key observations from that slice of London's life. For both contributions, 1xbet online casino should reflect on connections between the historical and cultural information about London that Ackroyd provides and our assigned reading for that week.

Online Message 1xbet online casino : To offer another venue for discussion, we'll be using an online message board in Canvas (K-State Online). Each week, each student is required to post at least one paragraph-length comment about the materials we're reading and discussing in class. I will read these discussions and assess a grade (at the end of the semester) based on the thoughtfulness of 1xbet online casino comments, their ability to foster discussion among 1xbet online casino classmates, and their responsiveness both to our readings and to 1xbet online casino classmates' comments in class and on the board. Postings will count for half (10%) of 1xbet online casino class participation grade (20%). If you would like to know 1xbet online casino message board grade to date at any point in the semester, please ask.

I'll provide some weekly question prompts as I follow these conversations, and I may also participate in the discussion, but I see the message board primarily as a way for you to raise issues we haven't addressed -- or addressed fully or to 1xbet online casino satisfaction -- during our regular class meetings. The work contributed to the message board can become source material for more formal writing assignments.

The weekly message board will run from Saturday to Friday, to encourage you to post right after as well as before our weekly class discussions, but I encourage you to contribute 1xbet online casino ideas throughout the week and to check the board for others’ postings. 1xbet online casino postings do not need to be long, but they do need to be substantive: they must be long enough to convey clearly the problem you are taking up and 1xbet online casino point of view, connecting 1xbet online casino comment to others’ comments whenever possible. I will offer models of successful comments early in the semester.

To post to the message 1xbet online casino , follow these directions:

1. Go to my homepage at http://www.ksu.edu/english/westmank/ and click on our course (ENGL 635), and then "Message Board" to login to K-State Online Canvas and go directly to "Discussions." (1xbet online casino may also login to the Canvas course page for ENGL 635 and click on "Discussions.")
2. 1xbet online casino should see all the messages posted to date and the newest threads first.
3. To post, choose to "reply," so you can engage directly in the conversation and 1xbet online casino message can "thread" beneath the one you’re responding to. Feel free to create a subject line that reflects the content of 1xbet online casino contribution.

1xbet online casino and Response 1xbet online casino : During the semester, you will be doing different kinds of critical writing: not only informal postings to the message board, but also more formal papers. All students will write one shorter paper (4 pages in length); undergraduates will also write a longer paper (7-8 pages in length), while graduate students will also write a longer paper with secondary sources (8-10 pages in length), an abstract of that paper, and an essay review of four articles about one of our authors on the syllabus. You will have a choice of two topics for Paper #1, and you will have a choice of text for Paper #2. Both papers should follow the general rules of composition and be typed or word-processed with standard double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and either 11- or 12-point typeface. Title pages and cover sheets are unnecessary. Pages should be numbered, stapled together, and spell-checked. Papers are due by the date and time on the syllabus; late papers will be penalized one grade (i.e.: A to B) for each day late. (Note: The University's Honor Code obliges you to cite the source of any idea that is not 1xbet online casino own. Otherwise, you have plagiarized. If you do plagiarize, you will fail this course.)

You will also write four response papers (2 pp in length) in response to our readings. Response papers are designed to ready you for class discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in a longer paper. They are due the day indicated on the syllabus. In 1xbet online casino response paper, you should not repeat previous class discussions or provide a mere summary of the reading. Instead, 1xbet online casino response should begin to analyze the primary and secondary reading assigned for that class session, selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. I recommend that you select a word, phrase, or short quotation from the reading to initiate 1xbet online casino response. (See sample response distributed in class.) Responses will be graded on a 1-5 scale: 5=A, 4=B, 3=C, 2=D, 1=F. I do not accept late response papers.

Multi-Media Project: You will choose one of four possible multi-media projects to complete during the semester. 1xbet online casino multi-media project can be submitted on any class day but must be turned in no later than Tuesday April 30. Each project should demonstrate insight and understanding of the text with which it connects, should be thoughtfully constructed, and should be presented professionally with attention to detail. Refer to the grading rubrics (posted in Canvas as of January 29) for detailed grading criteria. The assignment will be distributed the second week of class, but here are brief descriptions:

• Option 1: Create a soundtrack cd or playlist to accompany one of the texts we're studying. It must have 5-6 tracks and be accompanied by a written explanation (2 1xbet online casino in length) of how each selected song relates to the text and its themes.
• Option 2: Using events, situations, or characters from a text we're studying, create a fictional front page of a newspaper about that text. Format appropriately (single spaced, columns, headings/headlines), and include a written explanation (2 pages in length) about 1xbet online casino process of selection, research, or design, in light of the text's themes.
• Option 3: Create a collage of pictures and words (cut from magazines or assembled from digital images/print) that connects with a text we're studying. Include a written explanation (2 pages in length) explaining why 1xbet online casino chose those particular images and/or words for that text and why 1xbet online casino arranged them as 1xbet online casino did, given the text's themes.
• Option 4: Create a trailer for one of the printed texts we're studying. The trailer should be 30-45 seconds in length and be accompanied by a written explanation (2 pages in length) 1xbet online casino process of selection and design in light of the text’s themes and the trailer’s audience.

Professional Development: During the semester, you will complete three tasks (e.g., participate in a career development workshop/activity, conduct an information interview, and complete a task selected in consultation with me) to help you translate 1xbet online casino work in English to professional contexts and explore professional options.

Examination: 1xbet online casino will have a cumulative final exam.

Online and video resources: Along with some required viewing (see the films/TV listed under "Required Texts") and required online reading, I will refer 1xbet online casino to resources available online or on video to complement our readings and discussions. Links within the online "Schedule of Classes" will take 1xbet online casino to related online resources, and a "Web Resources" link from our course homepage will take 1xbet online casino to a page of links devoted to our selected authors, their work, and the city of London. I will add and update these resources as the semester progresses; if 1xbet online casino locate a site or page which 1xbet online casino find valuable, please let me know, and I'll consider adding it to the existing links.

Email: I highly recommend email as a way of touching base with me about 1xbet online casino work for the class -- a kind of virtual office hours. You can send me queries about reading or writing assignments, 1xbet online casino thesis statement for an essay, or anything else that could be handled with a quick exchange of messages. I check my email throughout the day, but please remember that I am not perpetually online.

Conferences: I want you to succeed in this course, and I am happy to meet with you about 1xbet online casino work and 1xbet online casino progress. I encourage you to see me before exams or papers are due, or if you have questions about material we discuss in class. Please feel free to stop by during office hours (M, W 9:00-10:00 a.m.), or contact me by phone or email to arrange a more convenient time to meet.

Note: If 1xbet online casino have any condition such as a physical or learning disability that will make it difficult for 1xbet online casino to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me in the first two days of the course. Any student with a disability who needs a classroom accommodation, access to technology, assistance during an emergency evacuation, or other assistance in this course should contact the Student Access Center (formerly Disability Support Services) and/or me. The SAC serves students with a wide range of disabilities including, but not limited to, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, depression, and anxiety.
