In this course, we will examine cultural messages embedded in folk and fairy tales and their adaptations, and the way scholars have interpreted and explained these stories. The aims of the course are to help the student/author develop the skills needed to write an academic term paper: examining the requirements of the genre, developing a thesis, planning and organization, integrating and documenting secondary literature, close reading, outlining, flow/coherence, academic tone and style, revising for clarity, giving peer responses, etc. One short paper (10-12 pp.) will be developed during the course, and there will be writing and organization exercises each week. Course for BA American Studies majors (Kernfach) only. |
