Extended Analysis Project: Author Biography and Comparative Literary Study

This Extended Analysis Project (EAP) requires students to select an author from a provided list and conduct an in-depth biography alongside extensive comparative analysis of at least two of their works. Students must read a minimum of 500 pages in total, journal their insights, and ultimately deliver a main oral presentation. Each biography presentation will include key events in the author's life, responses to their works, and contextual timelines. This project aims to develop critical literature analysis skills and foster connections across different literary works.
