An Introduction to A&S 100-010: Toni Morrison's Tale of the Golden Triangle and Beloved


Welcome to Toni Morrison's Tale of the Golden Triangle and Beloved! This blog is an extension of our classroom; we can consider it an online version of our Wired class community.

This course, Toni Morrison’s Tale of the Golden Triangle and Beloved, is designed to be a literary seminar course that explores Beloved by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison. This course will challenge students to use digital tools in order to read and critically analyze Toni Morrison’s Beloved using methods familiar with historical research and literary criticism. 


Students will be asked to research how the GoldenTriangle may have been in the 19th century. The research will be done using digital tools to access primary and secondary research materials.  This research will allow the students to view the content of the novel in a ‘real life’ practical context and create digital environments that reflect the content and themes of the novel.  The final project will ask students to develop a webpage to complement Beloved, and to explain how the Golden Triangle setting is a critical aspect of the story.
