寫作作業
Writing Assignments

請在預定的討論課之前完成指定的閱讀，課堂上進行的簡短非正式寫作作業的規定，將有助於培養你們事先閱讀的習慣。本課程主要的作業，包括三篇短論，各在6-8 頁之間，另外還有幾個較短的寫作作業。三篇短論中，一篇是針對課堂上研討過的教科書的報告 - 表達方式由你選擇 - 模仿、思考或批評性的分析；另外兩篇則為本課程相關資訊 - 個人回憶錄、自傳、調查、其它非小說的敘述或具說服力的短論。我們真心的鼓勵、歡迎你自行調查所寫的相關題材 - 教育、跨種族的約會和關係、住宅區的隔離、種族、性別和情慾間的交互關係、影射種族的廣告或影片，或是任何你有興趣研究的題目。經我同意，三篇短論中可以有一篇小說作品，但是你需要附加一份批評性的注釋，討論你的故事如何銜接到課程中讀到和討論到的題目。對於每一篇短論，你必須進行提案與起草，以從課堂的工作小組以及我這方面得到回應。這些回應會輔助你進行修正，修正後的作品請繳交。你將有機會在班上進行實質的口頭報告，或負責帶領同學討論相關讀物和影片。
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.

同時，請撰寫一本讀者筆記 - 在這裡你可以對我們正在閱讀的作品記下非正式的意見。在這本筆記上，你能吹毛求疵地閱讀、探討課堂上對作品的討論與你個人過去和現在經驗間的關連，紀錄和測試洞察能力，憑你的感覺做反應；聯繫我們將研究的讀物和你曾經讀過的書、看過的影片或去過的地方、提出問題、記錄觀察、試驗及挑戰假設。為幫助你更清楚地了解我對這本記錄筆記的期望，我會給你一份有關讀者筆記的講義。
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.

學期結束時，你將把在課程中所作的寫作作業整理成作品集，包括短論和讀者筆記，在檢閱你的作品後我會給你一個分數。決定學期成績時，作品的水準、整學期裡努力的程度和穩定性、修改自己的寫作時表現的成功度、參與課堂及討論的積極性、在課堂內你所提供的資訊程度的高低都在考慮範圍。我樂意隨時與你討論你的作品和在課程上的進度。
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.
