Hello, yes, here I am, I'm here. Mostly.
Jul. 4th, 2018 06:59 pmThe long short term is over -- my seven-week lit course has run it. This was the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them theme. Thank you again for all of your ideas and suggestions. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
highlyeccentric, the Gawain Texts were a huge hit. The class thanks you.
I think on the whole it went rather well, though of course I have some changes to make. I hope I'll get to run it again.
One thing that worked beautifully was adding the thread of Indigenous stories. I was worried that they would feel like an afterthought, but they enriched the material enormously. I would be more surefooted with them next time.
In the fantasized future version of the course, I think I'd like to have three strands of literary/fantastic traditions. This is tricky as I don't know a third well enough to teach it at the moment -- something for a long-term research project.
I had not a drop of energy beyond work for anything else, even the beautiful dialogue here at Dreamwidth, which I have missed. I'd like to do a week-by-week breakdown of the course and how it went, here -- for my own interest, at least. I may even manage it -- I've only two courses for the rest of the summer.
