Our "World Literature" class attempts to represent cultures through literature, but is limited by time. It would be impossible to represent the diversity of humanity's experience and art in one school year of readings.
Choose one unit from this semester and consider the readings from it.
- Does this unit do a good job representing the people and the art it stands for?
- What is missing, or what to you suspect might be missing?
- What important aspects are present?
I recommend beginning your work on this response by considering what you think the goals are (or should be) when readings are chosen for a unit.
