The one that gets the most attention, which is the Rose for Emily plan, I've left up here, though. :) Sorry for the hassle if I can figure out a way to get a grant for all this stuff, I'll post it all back again. English 104 "Intro to Composition and Rhetoric" at A&M, where these were used, the curriculum stresses introducing students to rhetorical strategies, including classical forms of argument and debate. These lesson plans reflect this, but could be used in any basic writing course. English 203 "Intro to Literature" or "Composition Through Literature" this course is a composition course emphasizing research skills and learning proper quotation, citation, etc. But it does this using literary texts, so it's really fun to teach. The lesson plans below are some of my favorites. A Rose For Emily lesson plan this is a really engaging activity. After students have read Faulkner's short story, I bring in handouts of this sheet, as well as a version of it on transparency. I then have them do two things the first is to pick out the places where there has been some "yellow journalism" on my part or, things that we do not know based on the story. The second thing we do, after discussing the possibility that this story "could" happen this way, is have them pick sides (prosecution/defense) and "try" Emily for the murder of Homer Barron. When I have done this lesson, the entire class has been excited, and come up with interesting and innovative ways of looking at the story. They really dig into the "facts" of Faulkner's world.
