Midterm Project: Assignment Instructions

In Module 8, you will work on your midterm project. The midterm project is an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned so far in the course. It is also an opportunity for the instructor to interact with students on a timelier basis. You have multiple choices in terms of topic, format, content, and delivery. Let’s explore them:

What is the midterm project on?

The midterm project will focus on humor and literary genres such as grotesque and satire. Detailed instructions will be posted in Module 8.  It does not have to be about the specific stories that we read in class. If there is an aspect of humor and literature in global contexts that you found interesting and would like to explore more, then this is your opportunity to do so!

First, share your ideas with the instructor and your peers by:

  • Posting your ideas following the prompt in ENGL 2100: Midterm Project Brainstorm Ideas

OR

  • Signing up to meet with your instructor and peers in ENGL 2100: Midterm Project Brainstorm Ideas to talk about your ideas
