Course Response

Somehow this didn't go up on the blog when I made it a week ago.

This week in class we worked extensively on our literature era presentations. We used Prezi to do these, a presentation system I had never used before. It was a little difficult for me to figure out how to use the program but after I got he linking method all figured out it was easy. My group was tasked with the classical antiquity and middle ages eras. This gave us a very large scope of authors to talk about. The most interesting part to me was the allegory of the cave, set forth by plato revolving around his idea of what was necessary for a philosopher king. Another author that I researched was Chaucer, whose work The Canterbury Tales, was quite interesting especially in its portrayal of chivalry.
