• THE Worksheet to be completed byeach student
DIRECTIONS:
The class will be divided randomly into groups. Each group will be assigned two of the short stories we have read already in the course. This is an individual exercise though it is okay if students wish to work with one another; nevertheless, they will each submit the two required forms for this exercise. First, examine the handout materials contained in this packet and learn about the thirteen schools of literary criticism. Second, review the assigned short stories and determine a minimum of two literary criticism schools or approaches which could be used to analyze each of the stories. Third, go to the Renner Learning Resource Center and find at least one resource (book, journal article, magazine article, CD-Rom reference source, Internet source, audio visual source, etc.) for each literary criticism approach which could be used in analyzing the stories by those two methods.
