Course Catalog Description
Reading and composition course based on works by Italians and foreigners about Italy and its culture and by Italians about their distinctive experiences of other cultures as tourists and emigrants. Works studied will be primarily chosen from among fiction and non fiction narratives, both originally in English and translated into it. R5A satisfies the first half of the Reading and Composition Requirement and R5B satisfies the second half.
Class Description
In this course students will work to develop their expository essay writing. Through in-class exercises and three longer essays we will work to express complicated things in direct and clear prose, and ultimately to make college essay writing easier. Our theme will be two concepts—dialogue and memory—and in the Italian stories, novels, and films we examine we will investigate the connections and tensions between the two. Assessment will be based on active participation every day, and the three longer essays.
