Wileys Add a Book Project

1. Select a work of world literature that you would like to read. You may choose any work that is of literary merit. If you doubt the merit, please consult me. 2. Read the work. 3. Write a persuasive essay of 2-3 pages that constructs an argument that this work should be included in the curriculum of World Literature here at Cooper. Please use examples from the work which highlight themes that you consider appropriate or style or diction. Your argument can be as creative as you wish. 4. Present in a book chat form your thoughts to the class. For this part of your assignment, you should prepare a 5-7 minute speech, using text and also prepare a handout for the class. 5. For this book to be added, you must select one work to remove. Your book chat should also argue why your choice works better, is more relevant, whatever you choose. 6. The paper will be worth 300 points; the speech will be worth 150 ( 50 of that is the handout). 7. Each World Lit senior must have a different book; first come, first served. I will post the list outside my room for sign up.
