To kick off our semester together, we've touched on powerful lessons we can learn from our study, not just lessons and themes dealing with the human condition, but also all genres of writing, history, and literary allusions.
We started with stories of creation from various cultures, and we read Genesis 1, the first book of the Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament. With the focus on literary allusions and connections to art, music, and poetry, you chose a project related to William Blake or a project related to the Garden of Eden.
With directions and support provided in class, you will create your own blogs and connect them to this site. Your first post will focus on your project, providing us an opportunity to get and give feedback.
Please remember as we share with each other throughout the semester, many of us hold different beliefs and traditions and respecting others only makes our class richer. You may have joined our class with your own unique expectations, but it is my sincere desire to provide an enjoyable, meaningful experience for all, regardless of beliefs, knowledge, background and goals. Welcome!
