Annotation
Drawing on constructivism and critical pedagogy, Cobb outlines his strategies for actively engaging upper-division undergraduates in how to conduct a systematic literature review of the body of scholarship devoted to the story. Students hone skills in applying theoretical lenses, formulating useful research questions, and developing appropriate research designs for addressing those questions. Notes the suitability of the story for such research given its critical popularity and diverse range of interpretation.
