Sink Your Teeth Into It! Black Vampires in an Asynchronous Literature Classroom

The question of where to begin a literature course on Black vampires was an opportunity Kendra R. Parker was thrilled to explore. Her chapter, “Sink Your Teeth Into It! Black Vampires in an Asynchronous Literature Classroom,” takes readers through three different course units with three different assignments, all designed to engage the skeptical or reluctant learner and to encourage them to bring their external experiences into the literature classroom. Through memes, social annotation tools, and collaborative assignments, Parker explores how her Black vampire course offers a looking glass into other worlds of experience.
