Goals and Objectives

• Project Goal
• To add art and literary urls to traditional text
  based literature course.
• To create a cultural context for literary works
  that are rapidly becoming not so modern to
  students born in 1985
• (For example Students once asked me if I had
  ever seen a hippie. That was more than 10 years
  ago.)
• To have links to all the artists mentioned in the
  stories I teach. To have city maps, plantation
  ledgers, and mule breaking information when such
  information would enrich the fiction or poetry
• To take advantage of the vast web resources
• and tame my own files and cuttings.
