Master of Arts in English Plan II Graduate Projects
Abstract
This final portfolio shows how gauging student interest can help to transfer their knowledge from subject to subject, whether it be by using Resident Evil to help with ethics or creative writing to help with grammar. The first essay goes into detail on the ethics of Resident Evil: The Official Strategy Guide, written for the original 1996 game. It elaborates on the guide and the game itself, using framing systems like that of Kant to gain a deeper understanding of the source material. Then, the second essay explains how creative writing can help students learn grammar, showing how both subjects are taught now and how they could be taught in the future. Finally, an entire syllabus for a hypothetical introductory college writing class has been included at the end.
