Our fourth theme is a definition essay. What that means is that you will choose a word, concept, idea and offer us your personal definition of it. We will talk at length in class about this.
The first word/concept we will explore is beauty. What follows is a two part introductory assignment to the concept.
FIRST:
As way of an introduction to the concept, read the following story from the Washington Post entitled "Pearls Before Breakfast" and be ready to discuss it in depth on Tuesday in class.
Here is the link to "Pearls Before Breakfast."
Here is a video of the actual experiment from the article.
SECOND:
Go the wallwisher site below and leave ONE entry with a link to something (audio, video, or jpeg) that you consider to be 'beautiful' and a short statement explaining why you consider to be so. We will discuss these in class too. Be original and truthful.
