What can I do in COVE Groups?
Group members
Although most of us are drawn to the study of literature by our love of reading and writing alphabetic, printed texts, due to the nature of literature and writing in the twenty-first century, media and digital literacy has also become the special provenance of the ELA teacher. In order to study literature in the light of media and digital literacy, we will focus on one Horry County District-Approved novel: Jane Eyre: An Autobiography (1847) by Charlotte Brontë. Impressively, this novel remains so popular that it has never once gone out of print in one-hundred and seventy-five years. Additionally, scores of authors, directors, and digital producers have adapted, revised, and modernized Bronte’s most famous novel. Throughout this fast-paced semester, we will prepare for your future use of digital tools in the classroom by reading this classic novel, viewing an intermedial adaptation, practicing multimodal composition, and analyzing all of the above. Additionally, we will leverage the COVE’s (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education) digital tools to foster a collaborative “flipped classroom” learning experience, and you will demonstrate competency in advanced research methods through the production of an annotated bibliography and analytical paper.
