Literary Presentations in Humanities
Pre-AP sophomores and AP juniors gave their first presentations in Dr. Brunson’s humanities classes this week. Juniors presented literary-critical analyses of Robinson Crusoe within his historical context as an entrepreneur and colonialist. Students not only read the novel, but researched and analyzed Crusoe within history. Students then wrote essays on a selected subject, and presented their ideas to the class.
This cycle is part of the regular structure of Dr. Brunson鈥檚 classes. Students are not only challenged to think critically, but to create and communicate intellectually about their subjects, encouraging interaction, dialogue, and participatory learning with their peers. This process does more than help students improve their communication skills, it also gives others insight into subject areas they might not have the opportunity to learn otherwise.
