Description

Class Experience

Call me Ishmael...

This course is designed to be interactive, including significant communication between the teacher and learner and between the learners themselves. As this is a flexible course, we will use asynchronous communication such as e-mail and discussion boards. Once per week the teacher will post slides, activity sheets, questions, and conversation starters. The teacher will dedicate at least 3 days per week to responding to learner questions. 

Moby Dick is an amazing tale of...

Students will improve their understanding of Herman Melville's classic novel as well as their understanding of cetology, experiences aboard a whaling ship, and the connection between human history and natural science.

I have an extensive background in marine biology and marine education. I also love classic literature. I find the connection between science and literature absolutely amazing and I am excited to facilitate meaningful conversations with my students.

Read Moby Dick.
Watch 'In the Heart of the Sea'.

Students will need access to the novel Moby Dick and the movie 'In the Heart of the Sea'. 

Teacher will provide slides and activity worksheets.

No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.
