Now that I reached the end of the class, I would like to
discuss how the reading went. The best part about the readings is that they are
not too long. Each major unit had different stories that were only about 10,000
words or so. This made it easy to read and talk about many different types of
stories. I think that the Un-Textbook was setup absolutely perfect. There were
lots of topics to pick from, and stories within those topics to choose. I think
that all of the bases were covered throughout the semester. There is no way
someone would not be able to find at least one story that they liked.
I have never had to write as much in any class as I have in
this one. When you add everything up, it’s probably well over 40 pages of text.
It was a unique experience for me and definitely a positive one. Even though
the workload balance was about 35% reading-65% writing, I do believe that it
was a perfect fit. Even you are writing stories and essays it is important to
let other readers know what you are feeling and the many different writing
assignments helped with that.
I don’t think any change needs to be made for the
Un-Textbook next year. It had a good balance of pictures, introductions, and
notes. I can’t think of any more topics that you could include in the book.
Maybe, modern?
