Presentations
students will prepare a presentation on a writer, artist, or ecological issue on work that we are not reading as a class. Presentations should be roughly 10 minutes long, should include supporting materials, and should convey a biographical sketch, a description of their causes, the body of their literary or artistic work, and their places.
Wise Words
"No man can live happily who regards himself alone;
who turns everything to his own advantage. You must live for
others if you wish to live for yourself."
- Seneca
