Response Journal
Due Weeks 1 through 10 and worth 20 points each week

One of the best ways to learn about literature and to appreciate it is to write about your reactions to what you read. This course offers you that opportunity in the form of the weekly Response Journal assignment.

At the beginning of every class during the course (except for Week 11), you will turn in a journal entry for the readings assigned for that week.

Instructions:

Choose a single author, a single selection, or a combination of authors or selections from the reading for this week.
Cite the author, the name(s) of the selection(s), and the pages in the textbook from which the selection(s) come.
Respond to the selection or selections in your own words, using one (1) of the approaches listed below.
Produce one (1) page of typed, double-spaced text.
Put the title of the assignment, your name, the instructor’s name, the course title, and the date on the top of the page.
Response Journal Approaches

Dear Author. Write a letter to the author of one (1) or more selections you read for this week. In your letter, tell the author what you think about his or her work, what you learned from the work, how the work relates to modern life, or what the work means to you. Be sure to include specific references to the work, either by direct quote or paraphrase (with page citations).
Dear Character. Write a letter to a character (or historical figure) portrayed in one (1) of the readings for this week. In your letter, tell the character what you think of him or her, whether you approve or disapprove of his or her actions in the work and why, or what you learned from the character and his/her actions. Include specific references to the work, either by direct quote or paraphrase (with page citations).
Then and Now. Choose any incident, episode, or situation from one (1) of this week’s readings. Describe the incident (with page citations) and relate it to contemporary America by explaining how the incident could or could not happen today and why, what would have to change to suit our times, and why you think the incident is relevant to its time and to ours. Include specific references to the work, either by direct quote or paraphrase (with page citations).
Compare and Contrast. (Not to be used for Week 1.) Choose any selection from this week’s reading assignments and compare and contrast it with any selection you have read for a previous week. Describe how they are similar and how they are different. What do you learn by comparing and contrasting them? Include specific references to the work, either by direct quote or paraphrase (with page citations).
Take-Home Essay Midterm Exam

Due Week 5 and worth 100 points

Respond to any two (2) essay questions. Each essay question is worth (50) points. Refer to specific details and examples from the authors’ works to support your points. Write your essay responses in a clear, organized, coherent manner. Use complete sentences, correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Revise and edit your essay as necessary before submitting it. Each essay should be approximately 250 words, typed (the equivalent of one double-spaced page.) Submit this exam to the course shell.

Pick any two (2).

Explain how the Puritan concepts of “plain style” and self-examination operate in the works of William Bradford and Cotton Mather.
Explain why the 18th century was called the Age of Enlightenment and discuss how Thomas Paine is considered a representative figure of the age. Describe how “Thoughts on the Present State of American Affairs” exemplifies Enlightenment ideals.
Edgar Allan Poe once wrote that “the death, then, of a beautiful woman, is, unquestionably, the most poetic topic in the world – and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover.” Explain how this statement informs “The Raven.” Describe the shifts in the moods and mind-set of the speaker in “The Raven” and ways the image of death is represented.
Describe the intended audience for Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; refer to two (2) passages in which Jacobs addresses that audience directly. Explain whether or not Jacobs intends audiences to identify with Mrs. Flint; refer specifically to the character’s actions.
Describe the “West” in the selections by Twain and Whitman. How do these writers view West and the notion of wilderness differently and similarly? How do you regard its potential in terms of a vision for America?
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment including the chosen author and work, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Weekly Course Schedule

The purpose of the course schedule is to give you, at a glance, the required preparation, activities, and evaluation components of your course. For more information about your course, whether on-ground or online, access your online course shell.

The expectations for a 4.5 credit hour course are for students to spend 13.5 hours in weekly work. This time estimate includes preparation, activities, and evaluation regardless of the delivery mode.

Instructional Materials

In order to be fully prepared, obtain a copy of the required textbooks and other instructional materials prior to the first day of class. When available, Strayer University provides a link to the first three (3) chapters of your textbook(s) in eBook format. Check your online course shell for availability.

Review the online course shell or check with your professor to determine whether Internet-based assignments and activities are used in this course.

Strayer students are encouraged to purchase their course materials through our designated Strayer Bookstore. http://www.strayerbookstore.com If a lab is required for the course, the Strayer Bookstore is the only vendor that sells the correct registration code so that Strayer students may access labs successfully.

Discussions

To earn full credit in an online threaded discussion, students must have one original post and a minimum of one other post per discussion thread.

Please note: Material in the online class will be made available on the previous Thursday. As it is always possible that students could lose their work due to unforeseen circumstances, it is a best practice to routinely save a working draft in a separate file before posting in the course discussion area.

Professors hold discussions during class time for on-ground students. Check with your professor if any additional discussion participation is required in the online course shell outside of class hours.

Assignments

A standardized performance grading rubric is a tool your professor will use to evaluate your written assignments. Review the rubric before submitting assignments that have grading rubrics associated with them to ensure you have met the performance criteria stated on the rubric.

Grades are based on individual effort. There is no group grading; however, working in groups in the online or on-ground classroom is acceptable.

Assignments for online students are always submitted through the online course shell. On-ground professors will inform students on how to submit assignments, whether in paper format or through the online course shell.

Resources

The Resource Center navigation button in the online course shell contains helpful links. Strayer University Library Resources are available here as well as other important information. You should review this area to find resources and answers to common questions.

Technical support is available for the following:

For technical questions, please contact Strayer Online Technical Support by logging in to your iCampus account at https://icampus.strayer.edu/login and submitting a case under “Student Center,” then “Submit Help Ticket.” If you are unable to log in to your iCampus account, please contact Technical Support via phone at (877) 642-2999.

TurnItIn.com is an optional online tool to assess the originality of student written work. Check with your professor for access and use instructions.

The Strayer Policies link on the navigation bar in the online course shell contains academic policies. It is important that students be aware of these policies.
