Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description What makes a great read? Is it plot? Characters? Breaking literary conventions? Immersing yourself in different times and different voices? Playing with your emotions? This course explores some of the great reads of modern and contemporary French literature to find out what defines "the modern French novel." We will focus on developing your skills as discerning, attentive, feeling readers as we practice different ways to study, and enjoy, novels. This course is about you as a reader; it's also about you as a writer. As part of this W course, you will learn ways to troubleshoot common writing difficulties (finding a topic, formulating a thesis, revising). Together, we practice a process approach to writing that includes informal and formal writing, a variety of revision activities, and developing competence in critical writing functions and formats. Come for the great reads, and stay to create great writing!
