NOTES:

All major coursework must be passed with a mid-C or better.

Lane transfer students should complete both sequences –all four courses (ENG 204 & 205 and ENG 253 & 254)) to meet UO Intro to English Major sequence (ENG 220, 221 & 222). Usually, no substitution is allowed for any part or parts of the Introduction sequence, and the four-course equivalency must be completed at the time of admission to the University. No part of this requirement or its equivalency may be satisfied by course credits received by exam (CLEP credits and/or similar college-level examinations for credit).

Effective fall, 2002, students admitted to the University under the direct transfer plan are not able to count more than one major course in the general education group requirements. For English majors, this means only one course with an ENG prefix may be used to fulfill their Arts & Letters group requirement.

COURSE NUMBER:	English 254	Lecture:	4
COURSE CREDITS:	4	Lec/Lab:
COURSE PREREQUISITES:		Lab:

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Survey of American Literature is a two-term sequence to acquaint students with representative works of important American writers, literary forms, and significant currents of thought. Primary emphasis is on reading and engaging with the literary materials, with an introduction to practices of literary interpretations. Questions of genre, authorship, aesthetics, and literary movements may be examined in their relationships to social, political, and intellectual movements of the United States. The first term will draw on material from colonial settlement in the Americas through the Civil War period. The second term will include literature from the end of the 19^th century to the present.

GENERAL COURSE OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course, the successful student will be able to:	These outcomes will be verified by one or more of the following assessments:
Be able to distinguish between connotation and denotation and demonstrate how the connotative language helps shape major points of a literary text (poem, story, play).	In-class participation, presentations, projects, quizzes, formal and informal writing, in-class discussions, exams.
Demonstrate ability to use interpretive frameworks to investigate contextual meanings of literature.	In-class participation, presentations, projects, quizzes, formal and informal writing, in-class discussions, exams.
Recognize historical and mythological viewpoints and central themes and how these viewpoints establish different worldviews and value systems.	In-class participation, presentations, projects, quizzes, formal and informal writing, in-class discussions, exams.
Understand international influences on the United States, including immigration and power relations between countries.	In-class participation, presentations, projects, quizzes, formal and informal writing, in-class discussions, exams.
Understand the complexity of national issues and their influence on the literature, particularly political, educational, and religious goals, the use of different languages, the establishment of social goals, and legal and economic systems. Explore how the literature reflects and shapes perceptions of critical social issues such as slavery, treatment of Native Americans, attitudes toward immigrants, and the rights of women. Consider the role of community in literature, what are considered the center and the margins of community, and the boundaries between groups of people as well as what establishes a sense of belonging. Appreciate the different ways freedom is defined and established, including rights, choices, and civic order and responsibilities. Understand oneself better as an American, or a person living in American, and as a human being. Consider personal identity issues based on race, class, gender, religion, education, and sexual preference, and how those issues are addressed in literature. Experience different writers’ sense of place, land and a sense of home. Understand why certain American authors have been included in the literary canon and others excluded, specifically women and ethnic minorities. Develop an understanding of the major changes in literary genres and style, why certain genres are studied in the academy and others excluded, and why certain stories are repeated each generation in different forms.	In-class participation, presentations, projects, quizzes, formal and informal writing, in-class discussions, exams.
