ALITR 5006.80 | The Literature of Africa, South America, The Caribbean, and Japan

This course studies works of literature by world authors listed in the Massachusetts Frameworks for Language Arts.  The course presents writers from different continents as a group, encouraging more in-depth comparison and analysis.  The course also presents these works within a discussion of three literary critical strands: post-colonial criticism, feminist criticism, and literature of culture and place.  This course is recommended for those studying to be teachers in Massachusetts and fulfills the World Literature requirement in the Adult Learning Division.  An online version of this course may be taken through myLesley.

ASOSC 5017.80 | World Geography Workshop

This self-paced Blackboard course presents concepts of geography study and activities designed to strengthen students' understanding and knowledge of geography.  It introduces various approaches to geography study: natural, ecological, economic, cultural, political and historical.  Students then pursue one or more of these areas in depth.  Students intending to become teachers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are encouraged to enroll in this workshop, which also covers areas of geography found in the Massachusetts Frameworks.  Assessment is by portfolio review.
