Envisioning Literature

Overview

Contents of this page serve as a companion to my next book Illuminating Texts: Developing Students' Textual Intelligence. This book is not due out until 2002, but as I build the digital companion to the book I see no reason why such information should not be made available to you.

Digital Companion

Additional Resources and Readings

Reading Literature on Screen and Online
These are "tools" I use in my own work and, more importantly, in the classroom. Look here for tools to help you plan, design, prepare, read, write, or think. When possible, I include exemplars of students' work to show you how these tools can be used.

• Hyperannotated "Dulce Et Decorum Est"
• Favorite Poem video: "Dulce Et Decorum Est"
• Reading Literature Project (pdf): This is an extended project designed to promote students' independence. It is not the kind of assignment I would use in the fall, unless the class was at least a junior class and they were, collectively, ready for it.
• "Does English Matter?" an article by Robert Scholes in which he discusses many of the ideas he would later discuss at greater length in The Rise and Fall of English.
