Week 1 — Two hours in Special Collections area of Scribner, including introduction to HF 200 and introduction by Ruth Copans to special collections as, if you will, a "genre." We will begin to look at what’s in the Dracula collection.

Week 2 — Students will spend at least two hours with the collection, the first of which with the faculty member beginning to get a sense of how to categorize the material into types of items. We will be thinking about two things here: 1) what might each student like to "specialize" in; 2) what would go well in an exhibit to be ready by Halloween.

Students are now reading the novel, Dracula.

Week 3 — Students will return to the library for at least two hours and begin, as well, to read in the Context and Reviews and Reactions section of the Norton Critical Dracula to get a sense of what lay behind Stoker’s imagination in the novel and what were some of the immediate reactions.

Week 4 — Discussion of what they are finding and how they are thinking of organizing the material in the collection. Viewing of the 1922 Murnau film, Nosferatu, and begin reading in the "Dramatic and Film Variations" section of the Norton Dracula.

Week 5 — Discussion of Nosferatu and of how to put together a panel discussion after the next films.

Week 6 — Begin to block out the exhibit, including making decisions about what sort of narrative/labels need to be included and who is going to work on which section.

Weeks 7 & 8 — Push to put exhibit together in final form and in cases no later than the end of week 8, which will be 10/26. As we do this, students should be preparing themselves to make group presentation to the rest of the class about the exhibit and the process of putting it together.

[Students will be graded on their work on the exhibit, both individual and

group, as well as their presentations to the full class.]

Week 9 — View Bela Lugosi version of Dracula and prepare for HF showing and panel discussion. (See what from the collection is useful.)

Week 10 — Bela Lugosi showing and panel (panel includes both preparation and critique together afterwards.

Week 11 — Read 3 of the 7 critical essays in the Norton Dracula; prepare one paragraph on each summarizing major points of the argument; discuss in one-hour session.

Week 12 — Thanksgiving week; see Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu.

Week 13 — Showing and panel on Nosferatu, as earlier.

Week 14 — Showing of Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula either here or last days of class next week — wide open discussion with whole class, instructors — including John Anzalone, Alan Wheelock, Phyllis Roth.
