This year, my students will be taken outside of their literary "comfort zones" and challenged to read text that they arbitrarily never would have chosen to read on their own. Students will analyze the literary and cultural contexts of these novels and develop a range of critical approaches. With the translated texts, such as The Visit, A Chronicle of a Death Foretold and The Complete Persepolis, students will analyze literature from other cultural perspectives which in turn, will aid in their understanding of how cultural values are expressed in literature and how that contributes to the text overall. With the text "Collection of Essays by George Orwell, students will examine a collection of essays from a British author during the height of British imperialism. This will aid students in gaining an understanding of both personal and cultural responses to a time period as well as universal challenges of life. With the text "Master Harold and the Boys", students will examine the symbolic diction and purposeful stagecraft, used to show the critical perspective of the time period during Apartheid. They will use this text to analyze the dramatic conventions of the play, such as: form, action, structure, dialogue, characters and stagecraft. All of these analyzing elements will assist students in their appreciation of literature from various cultural perspectives as well as various literary genre perspectives. Studying this arrangement of literature and in this in depth manner will better prepare my students for the types of literary analysis they will be expected to do at the college level.
