July 27-28, 2020
Isabel Dulfano, PhD (Professor of Spanish, University of Utah) will teach the first two days on literary analysis of essays written in various contemporary and classical formats. We review the methodology of literary analysis of essays in general in order to apply it to popular written forms of persuasion. Reading texts which discuss national identity, individual representations of self, and familiar social controversies of the past and present, we will examine the inner workings of these persuasive narratives. From that point of departure, teachers can develop strategies for students to emulate the various styles and techniques exemplified in the readings that best scaffold their ideas.
