Each year, the entire EN200 class will collaborate on a project the goal of which is to familiarize us with the basic strategies and methods of conducting research on a literary topic. This term, we'll be working on a poem by Anne Sexton, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." The project, posted online to this wiki, will be publicly accessible; each year, it will grow as new classes contribute.
Working from a central text, this collaborative class project will grow outward to incorporate a variety of research trajectories, including close readings, critical approaches, contextual research, and so on. Each year, the class as a whole will determine the exact shape and scope of the research as an exercise in categorical thought, though every student will contribute to the explication of the central text.
