Weekly Annotations
Log on to this site and explain stuff (y'now annotate). One of the expectations for this course is that you annotate Moby Dick. The entire book has been uploaded to Poetry Genius (each chapter is a "song"). For the most part, I would like you to annotate the chapters of Moby Dick open to the public, not the chapters that are semi-private (for our class only). This way you can contribute to the RG community of knowledge each time you have something to add about a particular chapter of the novel.
Creative Assignments
- Curate a Chapter of Moby-Dick
- The Epic Similes of Moby-Dick.

Whale Fall (Afterlife of a Whale): In this short film, animated paper-mache models of undersea critters illustrate the stages of a whale's decomposition. As the filmakers demonstrate, a whale carcass can support a host of marine organisms for decades after falling to the ocean floor!
Perpetual Ocean: A visualization of ocean surface currents around the world during the period from June 2005 through December 2007. It was produced using NASA/JPL's computational model called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II or ECCO2, which is high resolution model of the global ocean and sea-ice.
