English 105 Introduction to Literature--Drama
Reading, analysis, and appreciation of significant works of drama and the elements of dramatic literature (setting, theme, characterization, and language) serve as a basis for further student and enjoyment of drama.
This course is part of the Arts and Letters requirement for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) and enhances students' critical reading, thinking, and writing skills as well as promotes literature as a conduit of cultural literacy and reflection of the human condition.
Since drama is meant to be performed and viewed, this course also uses clips from films based on the plays. Additionally students have reading choices of which plays to study. However, my role as instructor is to pull their different reading options into a unified course that allows students to experience both the depth and breadth of drama.
