写作作业
Writing Assignments

请在预定的讨论课之前完成指定的阅读，课堂上进行的简短非正式写作作业的规定，将有助于培养你们事先阅读的习惯。本课程主要的作业，包括三篇短论，各在6-8 页之间，另外还有几个较短的写作作业。三篇短论中，一篇是针对课堂上研讨过的教科书的报告 - 表达方式由你选择 - 模仿、思考或批评性的分析；另外两篇则为本课程相关资讯 - 个人回忆录、自传、调查、其它非小说的叙述或具说服力的短论。我们真心的鼓励、欢迎你自行调查所写的相关题材 - 教育、跨种族的约会和关系、住宅区的隔离、种族、性别和情欲间的交互关系、影射种族的广告或影片，或是任何你有兴趣研究的题目。经我同意，三篇短论中可以有一篇小说作品，但是你需要附加一份批评性的注释，讨论你的故事如何衔接到课程中读到和讨论到的题目。对于每一篇短论，你必须进行提案与起草，以从课堂的工作小组以及我这方面得到回应。这些回应会辅助你进行修正，修正后的作品请缴交。你将有机会在班上进行实质的口头报告，或负责带领同学讨论相关读物和影片。
Short, informal in-class writing assignments will help you stay disciplined about getting the reading done. The major writing for the course will be three essays of about 6-8 pages each, along with a few shorter writing assignments. One of the essays will be a response to one or more of the texts we read, in a form of your choice--imitation, reflection, critical analysis. The other two assignments will be essays related to the material of the course--personal memoir, autobiography, investigation, or other nonfiction narrative or persuasive essay. You are welcome, indeed encouraged, to investigate some issue or topic on your own on which to write--education; interracial dating and relationships; housing segregation; the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality; race in advertising or film; or other topics you are interested in pursuing. With my permission, one of your papers may be a work of fiction, accompanied by a critical commentary addressing the ways your story engages the issues we have read about and discussed in the course. For each essay, you will write a proposal, draft the piece, and then get feedback on your writing from a workshop group in class as well as from me. The responses from other readers in the class and from me will help you revise your paper before submitting the revision. There will also be occasions for you to make one substantial oral presentation to the class and to be responsible for leading class discussions of the reading and films.

同时，请撰写一本读者笔记 - 在这里你可以对我们正在阅读的作品记下非正式的意见。在这本笔记上，你能吹毛求疵地阅读、探讨课堂上对作品的讨论与你个人过去和现在经验间的关连，纪录和测试洞察能力，凭你的感觉做反应；联系我们将研究的读物和你曾经读过的书、看过的影片或去过的地方、提出问题、记录观察、试验及挑战假设。为帮助你更清楚地了解我对这本记录笔记的期望，我会给你一份有关读者笔记的讲义。
I also ask that you keep a Reader's Notebook--a place where you will respond informally to the reading as we go along. The notebook is the place for you to read critically, to explore connections between the reading and class discussion and your own past and present experience, to record and test insights, to react as you feel moved to do, to draw connections among the various texts we will investigate as well as with other things you have read, films you have seen, places you've been; to raise questions, record observations, and test and challenge assumptions. For additional information on my expectations for your notebook writing, I will give you a handout on the Reader's Notebook.

学期结束时，你将把在课程中所作的写作作业整理成作品集，包括短论和读者笔记，在检阅你的作品后我会给你一个分数。决定学期成绩时，作品的水准、整学期里努力的程度和稳定性、修改自己的写作时表现的成功度、参与课堂及讨论的积极性、在课堂内你所提供的资讯程度的高低都在考虑范围。我乐意随时与你讨论你的作品和在课程上的进度。
At the end of the semester, you will prepare a portfolio of all the writing you have done in the course, including your essays and the reader's notebook, so that I can review your work in order to give you a grade for the course. In deciding on semester grades, I will consider the quality of your writing, the degree and consistency of your effort throughout the semester, the success you demonstrate in revising your written work, how actively you participated in class discussion and workshops and the quality of your classroom contributions. I am of course happy to talk with you at any time about your work and your progress in the course.
