Throughout this course we have studied a variety of texts, but why?! Why do we study literature today when ChatGPT can write our essays and even paraphrase texts for us? For your final exam submission, write a letter to Dwight’s head of school, Louisa Childs, arguing for literature’s continued relevance in high schoolers’ education today and going forward. Your letter should follow the conventions of a formal letter (you can make up Ms. Childs’ address) and use research and quotes where appropriate to support your argument. Since this is a letter and not an essay, you do not need to cite your sources using MLA, but you do need to make it clear where your data/quotes came from in the body of the letter by referencing the author and/or title of the article. Your letter should include a minimum of four quotes from at least two sources. Two of the four quotes must be drawn from the additional article (not from your research assignment). Research assignment sources: Letter from an English Department on the Brink The End of the English Major The Best and Worst Reasons to be an English Major Additional source: The death of the English literature degree Be sure to format your letter correctly. You may use the school’s mailing address for the recipient address and may make up the personal address. Dwight Global Online School291 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024212-724-2420
