Read critically and communicate effectively as a writer and speaker. 2. Understand connections among disciplines and apply interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. 3. Think critically and creatively 4. Consider the ethical implications inherent in knowledge, decision-making and action. 5. Possess a worldview informed by diverse social, multicultural and global perspectives. None of the above Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): 1. Identify authors, works, genres, and themes from the mid-17th century to present. 2. Relate and evaluate the literary works to their historical, philosophical, social, political, religious, regional, and/ or aesthetic contexts from the mid-seventeenth century to the present. 3. Analyze and interpret themes found in the literature and intellectual movements of the period by writing essays, demonstrating appropriate academic discourse and conventions of critical literary analysis. Assessments: Quizzes Journals Essays Mid-Term/Final CSLO 1 X X CSLO 2 X X X X CSLO 3 X X CSLO 1: Identify authors, works, genres, and themes of world literature from mid-17th century to present. QUIZZES: Rationale: to identify the stories, poems, or plays, students must first have a literal understanding: plot, setting, and character. T/F and multiple-choice quizzes will be administered for students to demonstrate basic understanding of text. Assessment Example: Students are assigned chapters chronologically from world literature. They are asked pertinent questions regarding the plot, setting or characters. For example a literal question might be: Who is the protagonist and the antagonist in Moliere’s Tartuffe? What is the conflict in Virginia Woolf’s short story “A Haunted House”? JOURNALS: Rationale: Journals may take a variety of forms with instructor discretion and serve as practice for larger assignments where students must demonstrate that they have read and understood the plot, setting, and character in the short stories, poems, and plays of from the mid-17th century to present. Assessment Example: Choose a key passage from Abe Kobo’s short story, “Red Cocoon” and directly copy into your journal. Then in 100 words or so, summarize what happens just before the passage, then what follows. CSLO 2: Relate the literary works to their historical, philosophical, social, political, religious, regional, and/ or aesthetic context from the mid-17th century to the present. QUIZZES: Rationale: Students must use inference and apply how the history of any given time relates to or informs the literary work. Thus, administrating short response quizzes, teachers will be able to assess students’ higher level thinking beyond the basic literal to discern main ideas versus minor details, to explain how an author’s background influences the work.

What social conditions were present that might have produced her seemingly unconventional reactions? JOURNALS: Journals may take a variety of forms with instructor discretion Rationale: Journals may take a variety of forms with instructor discretion and serve as practice for larger assignments where students must relate the literary work to the history, philosophy, religion, region or aesthetic context from the mid-17th century to the present. Assessment Example: Choose a key passage from Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” and directly copy into your journal. Then in 100 words or so, write why the passage is significant or important. You might want to summarize what happens just before the passage, then what follows, and how all relate to an overall theme or events. ESSAYS: Rationale: Essays will synthesize course readings and lectures, relating the literature to historical, philosophical, social, political, religious, regional, and/ or aesthetic contexts. Essays are the most rigorous and sophisticated method of assessment, thus, providing the most best method for students to demonstrate a variety of skills, mainly content knowledge and writing skills. Assessment Example: Love is a classic topic for poets. Compare and contrast William Shakespeare’s “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” with contemporary poet Denise Levertov’s “Love Poem.” Briefly summarize each poem and then compare the how both view love similarly. The majority of your essay, however, will focus on the different views based on the poets’ social status or views. As another option, you may want to write about the poems similar views about love and then explore or contrast the aesthetic conventions. MIDTERM & FINAL EXAM: Rationale: According to instructor discretion, these exams may be cumulative or test student knowledge about a unit or units, allowing for assessment of students’ ability to relate the literary works to their historical, philosophical, social, political, religious, regional, and/ or aesthetic context. Timed, in-class writings promote student thinking and writing skills without assistance from any outside source as a writing center, tutor, or other persons. Assessment Example: How does Jane Austin’s Northanger Abbey both exemplify Romanticism

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • The Southern Colonies in the 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    AP U.S. History: Unit 2.1 Student Edition The Southern Colonies in the 17th and 18th Centuries I. Southern plantation colonies: general characteristics A. Dominated to a degree by a plantation economy: tobacco and rice B. Slavery in all colonies (even Georgia after 1750); mostly indentured servants until the late-17th century in Virginia and Maryland; increasingly black slavery thereafter C. Large land holdings owned by aristocrats; aristocratic atmosphere (except North Carolina and parts of Georgia in the 18th century). D. Sparsely populated: churches and schools were too expensive to build for very small towns. E. Religious toleration: the Church of England (Anglican Church) was the most prominent F. Expansionary attitudes resulted from the need for new land to compensate for the degradation of existing lands from soil-depleting tobacco farming; this expansion led to conflicts with Amerindians. II. The Chesapeake (Virginia and Maryland) A. Virginia (founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company) 1. Jamestown, 1607: 1st permanent British colony in New World a. Virginia Company: joint-stock company that received a charter from King James I in 1606 to establish settlements in North America. Main goals: Promise of gold, conversion of Amerindians to Christianity (like Spain had done), and new passage through North America to the East Indies (Northwest Passage). Consisted largely of well-to-do adventurers. b. Virginia Charter Overseas settlers were given same rights of Englishmen in England. Became a foundation for American liberties; similar rights would be extended to other North American colonies. 2. Jamestown was wracked by tragedy during its early years: famine, disease, and war with Amerindians a.

The Newberry has more than 2,200 pamphlets published in Great Britain during the Stuart period (1600-1715). The subjects covered in these pamphlets are varied and include the Civil War, Church of England doctrines, Acts of Parliament, and the Popish Plot. There are collections of pamphlets about the Stuart era monarchs as well as Cromwellian pamphlets. There are pamphlets in the form of letters, sermons, political verse, and drama. Authors include Defoe, Hobbes, Swift, Milton, Pepys. While the collection is rich, finding pamphlets can be a challenge. Searching the Online Catalog The online catalog is the best place to start your search for seventeenth century British pamphlets. If you know the title or author of a given pamphlet, try searching under those headings to start. Many pamphlets are bound with pamphlets of similar themes, so it can be difficult to find individual pamphlets by title or author. Often subject searches retrieve the largest number of relevant pamphlets. A variety of different subject headings are used in the online catalog. They follow the following patterns: Great Britain—History—[range of years]—Pamphlets Example: Great Britain History 1660-1688 Pamphlets Great Britain—Politics and Government—[range of years]—Pamphlets Example: Great Britain Politics and Government 1603-1714 Pamphlets Great Britain—History—[name of monarch]—Pamphlets Example: Great Britain History Charles II Pamphlets In the cases where pamphlets cannot be found using these searches, try the “Advanced Search” option, and set limits on the language and year(s) of publication.

  • Virginia Development, 1642-1705
    VIRGINIA DEVELOPMENT, 1642-1705 I. Virginia at the time of Sir William Berkeley’s arrival (1642) A. Although the tobacco boom time that had caused the company’s failure in 1624 ended around 1630 - the colony continued to develop slowly during the first half of the seventeenth century. B. By 1642, when Governor Sir William Berkeley arrived, the colony remained a sickly settlement with only 8,000 people living there. C. Virginia had earned the reputation “that none but those of the meanest quality and corruptest lives went there.” D. The quality of life in early Virginia was more like a modern military outpost or lumber camp than a permanent society. E. Its leaders were rough, violent, hard-drinking men. Berkeley’s predecessor, Governor John Harvey, had knocked out the teeth of a councilor with a cudgel, before being thrust out himself by the colonists. F. The colony was in a state of chronic disorder. Its rulers were unable to govern, its social institutions were ill-defined, its economy was undeveloped, its politics were unstable, and its cultural identity was indistinct. (Above points from Fischer, Albion’s Seed, 210). II. Berkeley’s and his elite A. In the thirty five years of Sir William Berkeley’s tenure, Virginia was transformed. (1642-76) 1.

  • GREECE Athens
    EXPERT GUEST LECTURER Dear Member, It is with pleasure and excitement that I invite you to join me on a magical springtime journey to Greece and the Greek islands at the time of year when the entire country becomes a vast natural garden. Greece is home to a stunning number of plant species, comprising the richest flora in Europe. More than 6,000 species thrive here, of which about ten percent are unique and can be found nowhere else in the world. This is also the land that gave birth to the science of botany, beginning in the 4th century BC. Ancient Athenians planted the Agora with trees and plants and created leisure parks, considered to be the first public gardens. On this springtime journey we will witness the beautiful display of wild flowers that cover the land as we explore ancient sites, old villages and notable islands. We start in Athens, the city where democracy and so many other ideas and concepts of the Western tradition had their origins, where we will tour its celebrated monuments and witness its vibrant contemporary culture. From Athens, we will continue to Crete, home of the Minoans, who, during the Bronze Age, created the first civilization of Europe. Our three days on this fabled island will give us time to discover leisurely its Minoan palaces, see treasures housed in museums, explore the Dr. Sarada Krishnan is Director of Horticulture magnificent countryside and taste the food, considered to be the source of the widely-sought and Center for Global Initiatives at Denver Mediterranean diet.

THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY JUSTICE OF PEACE IN ENGLAND By JAMES R. AMcVicE In seventeenth century England, county government largely devolved upon the justices of the peace. They were a body of trained peace-magistrates who through the detection, apprehension and prosecution of criminals functioned as the agency of police control; who in the exercise of their judicial powers on the criminal side in the county court of quarter ses- sions constituted the local magistracy; and who by the deriva- tion of their authority acted as instruments of government by the Crown. Justices were commissioned by the King and re- sponsible to him for the maintenance of public order, for fur- therance of the policies of the central government and for super- vision of internal county affairs.
