Course Description:

This American literature course focuses on major works of poetry, prose, and drama of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The student will gain an appreciation of literature as it can enrich the student's life through the opportunity to read, discuss, and write about prescribed works from the Harper American Literature text. The student will also develop and become knowledgeable on one set of readings in a cultural milieu that may or may not be in the required text.

A civic service-learning option is available for students who would like to support reading and writing initiatives with students in k-12 in Palolo Valley Homes Technology Center.
Please notify the instructor by the end of the second week of the semester if you are going to choose the service option. More information is available here:

Making a Civic Investment: Community, Technology, and Lifelong Learning

Service Learning and Community Outreach Possibility

A unique opportunity for this English class at Kapi'olani Community College will allow you to participate in a Campus Compact experimental grant project with UH Manoa students. Participating in this opportunity, a community service learning experience, will be part of the course credit you receive. Participation is optional.

By the second week of class, please notify your instructor of your intention to participate. Training will begin at that time.

Course Competencies

Upon successful completion of the course, the successful student should be able to:

Demonstrate knowledge of some major American playwrights, short story authors, and poets.

Consider a work of literature as a reflection of its cultural milieu.

Use the basic concepts and terminology special to literary analysis.

Examine a work of literature from various vantage points.

Demonstrate the ability to examine and analyze characters, setting, structure, and theme of the works read.

Show sensitivity to language and literary devices that authors use in literature.

Write short responses and longer critical and imaginative papers on different literary problems related to American literature.

Recognize the need for literary evidence to support opinions and ideas regarding a literary work.

Class Meetings

At the KCCMOO, the class will meet for large and small group discussions once a week on Wednesday evenings from 9-10 p.m. Hawaiian Standard Time. The assignment which you are to prepare before coming to the MOO will be posted in the web classroom under discussion forum called MOO Assignments.

At the WWW classroom, students will be expected to log in on a regular basis throughout the week and contribute timely commentary and interact with colleagues in an asynchronous mode through threaded discussion groups. Students should take the time to read and reread the assignments, highlighting significant passages and circling passages that prove difficult or confusing. This is called active reading!

At the WWW classroom each week, students will be asked to read various assignments by Wednesday, discuss readings on Wednesday nights, and log into the Web Classroom to take a reading quiz between Thursday and Sunday. Students will be able to take the reading quizzes again if not satisfied with their scores. Note: scores will be averaged and the questions will vary.

Writing Requirements

Students will be expected to write in response to their readings in a number of ways, including writing clear explanations of the basic narrative story line of prose, and the basic situation of poetry, writing responses that demonstrate the subjective and objective analyses of literature, interpreting the subtext of the literature, based on the text, recognizing and explaining common literary devices used in the text, and developing significant questions that could be asked about the texts.

Students are expected to attend one theater performance during the semester, preferably at KUMU KAHUA.

Course Policies

STUDENT CONDUCT: Appropriate student conduct as defined by the Kapi'olani Community College Student Conduct Code will be expected of students at all times.

LATE PAPERS: You will not receive credit for a late paper/project unless personally excused by me for a valid reason before the paper/project is due. A paper not submitted by the time it is due is late.

Extended time in a distraction-free environment is an appropriate accommodation based on a student's disability. If you have a disability and have not voluntarily disclosed the nature of your disability and the support you need, you are invited to contact the Special Student Services Office, 734-9552 (V/TTY), 'Ilima 105, for assistance.
