Understanding Poetry
2012-2-2
Course Outline
This course aims at familiarizing the students with some canonical poems in English literature. This course will not be very heavy on input. It relies a great deal on your active participation and collaboration among yourselves in the process of your critical reading. The teacher will act as a coordinator or facilitator to help you through the whole process of your reading and classroom discussion. Throughout the course, you are required to make comments on the selected materials. We hope by the end of this course, you will find yourselves more aware of and interested in English poetry.
