Broadly speaking, there are two ways to conceive of using WWW resources with your
students:
- Conventional Reading/Thinking/Writing Exercises
- Journal entries, short answer questions and comparative responses
would enable your students to respond to WWW sites using analytical
tools that they may already be using in their encounters with other
texts and exhibits in your course.
- Internet-based Exercises
- Creating hotlists instead of bibliographies, or weaving URLs into a
conventional essay would be two ways to have students begin using new
technologies to enhance their experience of electronic resources.
But those interested in integrating WWW
resources into their courses would do well to check out the impressive
work being done by other teacher/scholars, notably:
Preliminary Ideas for Conventional Responses to This
Exhibit
Early in the introductory essay, in his discussion of style Michael Conner notes
that...
...in both wood and metal, we can still recognize
a distinctly Yoruba treatment of the eyes and nose, the
same static posture and formal gesture, and the same
relative body proportions that are the basis of the style.
Choose two pieces from the Yoruba exhibit that allow you to discuss the
"Yoruba treatment" Conner describes. How does it compare to
styles of other peoples you have studied thus far, whether in your
course
texts or at other sites? Be sure to include
the URL of the specific piece(s) you cite so that your
reader can re-examine the specific characteristics you select.
