Project Name: <\/strong>American Gothic Literature for Students<\/p>\n

Project Owner: <\/strong>Madison Cramer<\/p>\n

Project Summary: <\/strong>I intend to create an interactive, multi-page website for high school students to use during their study of American Gothic literature. Students will be able to learn about the Gothic genre with an emphasis on mid- to late-nineteenth-century authors. The website will incorporate not only canonical authors, but also lesser-known authors of a variety of identities in order to better understand a more wholistic perspective of American Gothic literature.<\/p>\n

Deliverables: <\/strong>My project will consist of a number of inter-linked pages, so I need to create brief but informative pages about specific authors and works, which will include links to other useful sources as well as full texts of relevant works. In addition I will create a home page, a page about the project and methodology, a bibliography, an index of authors and works, a page about characteristics of Gothic literature, and a variety of pages about recurring themes. I may also include a timeline (or several timelines) documenting the publication of certain influential works. Where helpful, I hope to include images and sound files that help contextualize authors and works within their historical and literary tradition.<\/p>\n

Timeline: <\/strong>By the end of week one<\/strong>, I read secondary sources about Gothic as a genre and specifically how American Gothic evolved from its European predecessors. I also read The Castle of Otranto<\/em> (the first Gothic novel) to identify the character, setting, and plot devices that would become tropes for the genre. By the end of week two<\/strong>, I will have created two pages about canonical authors and annotated at least three of their works with Gothic elements. By the end of week three<\/strong> I will have completed a wireframe of the interconnection among pages and the layout of those pages. I will also have a site with a landing page and a digital version of the pages I created to that point. In terms of my research, I will have created two pages about female authors and annotated their works. Since non-canonical authors will have works that are more difficult to access, I am not establishing a goal number of works to have annotated, but rather will choose a sample relative to the number of their works that are available. By the end of week four<\/strong> I will have created pages for an Asian-American author and a Latinx author, which I will upload to the site. In this week I will also create work pages for works I have annotated in the previous weeks. By the end of week five<\/strong> I will have created pages for two African-American authors, which I will upload to the site. I will also create and upload theme pages that indicate themes evident across all or many identities. During this week I will also upload a timeline either as its own page or as part of another page. By the end of week six<\/strong> I will have added links out to author biographies, full texts, and other relevant sources. I will also create an author index and upload any pages not included in the previous weeks. By the end of week seven<\/strong> I will trouble-shoot links within the site to make sure it is easy to navigate across pages. By the end of week eight<\/strong> I will be able to give a clear presentation about my project in its present state.<\/p>\n

End of Life\/Future Plans: <\/strong>I hope to continue adding to this website through my semester student teaching (Fall, 2018). Following my graduation, I would like to move the project to another server so I can continue to add authors, research, and resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
