Welcome to EL 150, "Introduction to Literary Study."

The course website is located at http://blogs.setonhill.edu/DennisJerz/EL150. I will update the online syllabus periodically, so the printout I gave you is only for your convenience today. The offical version of the syllabus is the online version (though I will notify you in advance of any significant changes).

Topics for today:

• Review syllabus.
  
• What is literary study?
  
• How does it differ from high school English?
  
• Discuss summary vs. analysis (see "Writing that Demonstrates Thinking Ability").
  

The front page of the blog only shows the main class topic and the main readings scheduled for that day. To get a full list of the lesson plan for any day, click on the date on the calendar. (You might want to see what's due on Jan 25.)
