Carol Hamilton: English Instructor

North Seattle Community College

I teach English at North Seattle Community College. In a typical quarter I teach a pre-college English class and a composition or literature class. My special interests are American literature and creating learning communities in the college classroom.   I teach integrated studies classes with other colleagues where we develop thematic content. 

• Winter 2010 I will be teaching a class called Speaking of Success, a 15 credit class of ENGL 097& 8 and CMST 115--Overcoming Speech Anxiety.
• Spring 2010 I will be teaching a class called Rememberings with Jane Lister Reis on Monday/Wednesday evenings with English Composition, American Literature, Humanities, and Communication--Small Group Communications.

Reading and Writing: Read with a pencil and learn to write and read critically by viewing the demonstration of me "reading" a short story by Guy de Maupassant. Annotation is the art of marking up a text you are reading so you can refer back to the ideas, examples, and remember what you were thinking as you were reading.

Here are some Links for Literature Study:

Voices for the Gap-Women Writers of Color

American Literature Study

Voice of the Shuttle--American Literature

F. Scott Fitzgerald-A Centennial Celebration at the University of South Carolina

Study of American Women Writers

English 291 - Literature By Women.  This course is the literature course offered in our program of courses in Women's Studies.  We read works by women on topics that include their unique perspectives as women and writers who were sometimes limited because of their gender, family roles, or work situations.

English 292- Literature By Women-Global Focus. This course focuses on the writing by women in the world. Usually I will pick one continent to concentrate on such as Women's Writing from Africa. Students will also read some literature from other women writers in the world.

Students in writing classes may find some of the following links helpful when they are doing writing projects.  The LOFT is our award winning Writing Center where you can receive one on one tutoring or work on computer programs.
