Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Drawing on her experience teaching a “Literature of the Sea” course in an experiential semester at sea program, Beegel outlines practical approaches for the rest of us teaching in windowless classrooms to students unfamiliar with maritime history. Offers syllabus suggestions, assignment prompts, and exam questions for a comparative literature course focused on the sea and how writers think about it. Discusses her nifty method, along with numerous resources, for delivering vital interdisciplinary context (e.g., biology, oceanography, and ecology) through an innovative form of “slide lecture.”
