Literature and Influence: A New Model for Introductory Literature Courses

Gillian Steinberg

Abstract

The “Influence” model of introductory literature class focuses on a single central text, the works that influenced its composition, and works that developed from it, encouraging students to make connections among texts. Such a course model repositions power in the classroom by offering students the opportunity to participate in list creation.
