The course I am currently taking is english 2150. A class which mainly revolves around the themes of Race and Justice. If I were given a chance to design this course, I would not change the themes first of all. Race and Justice are topics that society has been facing for centuries. These are very controversial topics, what makes them interesting is that people have there own point of views and opinions towards what is justice and racist. Throughout history we have read about events and times in which race and justice were very big issues in society, this is what keeps people interested in learning more about why people faced then and still face now unjust punishment.
While designing this course I would keep the most important readings that I think is interesting and takes places in varies parts of history which would help students understand more about Race and Justice . Readings such as “A Hip Hop Theory” and the articles by Ward Churchill are great , also to the Course reading list i would add a blog-post. This would help students keep in touch about critical Racial and Justice issues. Here they can talk about their views of what is race and what is Justice.
In addition to the blog-post, i would include several website links to articles and information students can use to write their papers on. This would make it easier for them to search and find the answers to the questions that they might have.My English course would be a fun and ongoing learning experience about Race and Justice.
You are correct. It would be easier if I provided you with links to information you could use for your essays. On the other hand, you would miss a valuable opportunity to learn how to do research and become familiar with the library’s resources. I would hate to rob you of that opportunity. Make the most of it while you can!
