English 1102 and Library Collaboration: In Class Assignments

Using the Contemporary Literary Criticism and Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism

Students are shown the sets of criticism that are available in print in the library. Each student gets a randomly selected volume to use during the orientation. We look through the volume together - pointing out parts of each entry. Then each student works alone for 5-10 minutes to answer the following questions using their volume.

• What is one author listed in your book of criticism?
• What is the topic (or title) of one of the essays?
• Where can you find additional information?
