Analytical Literature Video Series for ENGL 2030: Literary Heritage

This collective of videos provides quick prompts for literature responses to springboard students into analytical thinking so they can avoid merely summarizing the material. This approach involves breaking down aspects of the readings through the points of civics, science, and culture to better understand how each piece of literature might affect readers and the world around them. Videos were created for ENGL 2030 (Literary Heritage) as part of ETSU's Open and Affordable Course Materials Awards Program.
