  • continues to be a vibrant project and should not be confused with whatever economic, institutional, bureaucratic, political crisis is happening with the humanities in higher education.

      Really? Don't the institutional and bureaucratic suffocation of the humanities, their snuffing out, affect the future's capacity to think the human?
  • Well, we’ll see I guess.

    This critique of excessive testing posits the need to recognize that we're not just "testing to the test," we're "teaching human beings."

              Lesson/Moral                   Ask students to compare the characters, plot, and lessons of these stories. Which characters did they like best? Which did they like least? Which story had the best ending and why? Have students compare the animals and their behavior in each story: Why do the types of animals change or not from one culture's fable to the next? How does the behavior change according to the type of animal? What types of behaviors lead to what types of endings in these stories? To see how fables teach universal lessons about human nature and behavior, ask students to think of a real-life situation that applies to one of the stories.

    This online rhetoric, provided by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham Young University, is a guide to the terms of classical and renaissance rhetoric. This site is intended to help beginners, as well as experts, make sense of rhetoric, both on the small scale (definitions and examples of specific terms) and on the large scale (the purposes of rhetoric, the patterns into which it has fallen historically as it has been taught and practiced for 2000+ years).

    Really good deconstruction by host, guest, and expert. Works at an adolescent level, and somewhat directly addresses that. A few vocab words worth close reading for, but doable.
