Literature Class Syllabus

Advanced English Literature


This class requires a lot of independent reading and writing,
with a weekly Reading Report and presentation. The students will
keep a Book Log on a Google Doc shared with the tutor to track
the student’s progress. Each week, the student will use the notes
taken in the Book Log to write a brief but formal Reading Report.
This Report must be submitted by 12:00 noon the day before class.
At our weekly session, each student will present their Reading
Report aloud to the tutor and their classmates to practice
speaking English. The student, tutor, and classmates will then
engage in a brief discussion about the student’s reading. The
student will be graded on their Book Log, Reading Report, and
Weekly Presentation.
In this class, you are required to sign up for
https://openlibrary.org/ . Please get familiar with their site
layout so that you can save lots of books you want to read. The
student who finishes the most books in the semester will earn
recognition and a full attendance point!

Book Log: ¼ attendance point for up to 12 weeks (earn up to 3


points)
 The Book Log is the student’s ongoing record of reading,
kept by them on a Google Document and shared with the ELP
Tutor. In this Book Log, you will track the following:
o The title and author of your book
o the number of pages read
o the minutes read per day (with dates)
o a brief summary of what you have read.
Each week’s entries are worth a quarter attendance point;
therefore, if the student has written in the Book Log 1 day
each week or 7 days each week, they still receive only a
quarter attendance point. There are two good reasons for
filling out your Book Log: 1, track your progress, and 2,
make your Reading Report easier to complete each week. So if
the student writes in their Book Log each week for the
duration of the semester, they can earn credit for up to 3
missed meetings.
Reading Report: ½ point, and you will receive language and style
comments on your report to improve your writing. (Tutor will
collect these in a rolling Google Doc and share with Student at
the end of the semester to see improvements.)
 The Reading Report is the student’s weekly formal report on
their reading progress. It is made of two parts:
o Part 1: Summarize the text you have read over the past
week. This should be the smallest part of the report,
about 1-3 sentences long.
o Part 2: Interact with the text somehow; this should be
the biggest part of the report, about two or three
paragraphs, but you can write more.
Weekly Presentation (up to 12): ½ attendance points, and you will
receive a score and tips on improving your presentations
privately, via email after class. (Tutor will collect these in a
rolling Google Doc and share with Student at the end of the
semester to see improvements.)
 Each week at our live session, every student will make a
brief, 5-minute presentation about their Reading Report. The
student may read directly from their Reading Report or
present their work unscripted, but they will be graded with
a rubric for formal academic presentations.
 After each formal presentation, the entire class will engage
in an informal question-and-answer session about that
student’s topic.

I have weighted the assignments so that a student who does not


have reliable internet access or consistent electricity can
still pass the class and earn their certificate if they complete
the Reading Log and Reading Report each week. If you complete
the Reading Log each week, you will earn 3 attendance points. If
you complete the Reading Report each week, you will earn 6
attendance points. Only 9 attendance points are required for an
official ELP completion certificate.
