The journey through this course: English Literature 203 has been unlike any other. I would like to thank everyone who took time to read my entries and leave feedback. A special thank you to Mr. Emmanuel, my lecturer for the guidance and insights provide along the way.
My first impressions of the program were: 'Oh why me!' and 'How much longer before it's all over?'! I was instantly repulsed by the course content and I felt terribly intimidated by the heavy workload. It seemed like a challenge too great to overcome. I felt that I was learning several wonderful, practical teaching approaches, but it was mostly theory. I understand now that the time available was insufficient to accommodate more practice of the course content, but in retrospect, I would have preferred to have had a more balanced program of activity.
All in all, I have learnt so much! I can now confidently say that I know how to approach the teaching of Literature, as well as how to effectively use literature in the other subject areas that I may teach. The knowledge that I have acquired will be shared with other teachers. I will also try as best as I can to help set up programs at my school which will appeal to students, as they journey through the stages of literary appreciation.
