List and explain four possible ways a discipline-based study of literature could be organized and presented.
1. Chronological: Literature could be organized and presented in a chronological manner, starting with ancient texts and moving through different time periods up to contemporary literature.

2. Genre-based: Another way to organize a discipline-based study of literature is to focus on different literary genres, such as poetry, drama, fiction, and non-fiction. This approach allows students to explore the unique characteristics and conventions of each genre, as well as how they have evolved over time.

This approach allows students to delve deeply into the works of particular writers or to explore the cultural and historical contexts that influenced a specific literary movement.

This approach allows students to explore how different authors from different time periods and cultures have addressed similar themes in their work.
Each of these approaches offers a unique perspective on the study of literature and can provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the discipline.
