1xbet online casino Description

England, as the seat of power for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, has been a center for art and commerce for centuries. 1xbet online casino has also been a country of immigrants, especially with the arrival in 1948 of the Empire Windrush. Traveling 1xbet online casino the far reaches of a fading Empire, this ship’s passengers hoped for a better life in the mother country but arrived in a nation whose doors were often closed to people of color, its cities and countryside ravaged by the bombs and rationing of World War II. What kind of England emerged 1xbet online casino the rubble of war? 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 literature and culture of post-WWII Britain through an introductory but intensive survey of representative contemporary British writers from about 1950 to the present. We 1xbet online casino focus on writers' responses to earlier traditions of realism and modernism, exploring the techniques of narrative fiction, drama, poetry, and film/television offered by their work. We 1xbet online casino also trace the themes that these authors raise as they both respond and contribute to the post-WWII, post-Windrush, and post-Brexit experience of British culture. Cultural, historical, and theoretical context 1xbet online casino be integrated into discussion through secondary readings and resources, allowing us to situate our close readings of the texts within the historical moment of their production and reception.

1xbet online casino Objectives

• To become familiar with a particular period of 1xbet online casino literary and cultural history and its narrative forms and themes
• To use relevant cultural and historical information when interpreting literature, film, and other cultural 1xbet online casino
• To participate in lively and informed discussions about our 1xbet online casino and films
• To develop and apply critical skills for 1xbet online casino , thinking, and writing about several genres
  – what a literary or cultural text conveys (its 1xbet online casino , its view of the world)
  – how a literary or cultural text conveys that knowledge (its aesthetic form, its selection/omission of detail)
• To contribute to current conversations about post-1950 British literature (Grad 1xbet online casino : to develop a publishable idea and thus enter the existing critical conversation about this literature through a research-based, scholarly argument that intervenes in and advances that conversation.)

1xbet online casino Modality: We will meet in a HyFlex modality, with some enrolled in person and some enrolled online -- pending the need to go fully online for COVID or weather. (See Canvas for Zoom link.) On selected weeks (noted below on the schedule of classes with [A]), we will meet for a portion of our scheduled time, and you will complete an asynchronous activity (shared on Wednesday, due by 11:59pm on Friday) which will represent the balance of 1xbet online casino weekly time in class.

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 (10%, in large and small groups) and to our discussions on the online message board (10%, further information below). 1xbet online casino goal is to be an active presence in the class: you should complete the reading or viewing assigned for each class session, think carefully about that material, and be ready to share 1xbet online casino ideas -- in class and online, synchronously and asynchronously.

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. However, I recognize that the unexpected will happen, especially during this pandemic year. If you miss more than one weekly class session, or several portions of weekly class sessions, please contact me, so we can discuss 1xbet online casino progress and identify the best path forward.

1xbet online casino Discussion Questions: As part of the class participation grade, students will sign up to develop discussion questions 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 drafting the questions, students should email me their questions by 6:00 p.m. CT the night before; I will confirm receipt and offer any suggestions for the order or focus of the questions.

1xbet online casino Message Board: As part of 1xbet online casino class participation and to practice informal analytical writing, each week, each student is required to post at least one paragraph-length comment (200-300 words) about the materials we’re reading and discussing in class. These posts are intended to help you do the following:

• Prepare for or develop topics and ideas discussed in 1xbet online casino
• Prepare to engage in the public humanities by communicating 1xbet online casino ideas and responding to those of 1xbet online casino peers in a non-scholarly format

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, their responsiveness to our readings, and their ability to "translate" scholarly discussions for a general audience. I'll provide weekly question prompts as I follow these conversations, and I may also participate, but I see the online discussion 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. 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 will offer models of successful comments early in the semester.

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) and an abstract of that paper. You will have a choice of two topics for Paper #1, and you will have open choice between our assigned texts 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 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. If you have extenuating circumstances which will prevent you from meeting these deadlines, please let me know, so we can discuss an alternative due date. (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 summary of the reading. Instead, 1xbet online casino response should begin to analyze the primary reading or viewing 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 25. 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 27) for detailed grading criteria. The assignment will be distributed the second week of class, but here are brief descriptions:

• Option 1: Create a soundtrack 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 pages in length) of how each 1xbet online casino 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 print media 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) of 1xbet online casino process of selection and design in light of the text’s themes and the trailer’s audience.
  

1xbet online casino and video resources: Along with some required viewing (see the films/TV/streaming video 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 British culture. 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.

1xbet online casino : 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.
