| Date & Time | Monday—Friday, 9:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m. |
| Instructor | Mark Blacher |
Course description
In this course we explore modern literature from early pioneers such as Dostoyevsky and Rimbaud through to modernism of Virginia Woolf and Hemingway, and beyond to writers including Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison and movements such as magical realism. We focus mainly on shorter novels and poetry, but may also look at longer works such as Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse.
We consider not only the meanings of the works but also how they are written to give them their power. Additionally, we pay attention to how literature sounds and how it makes us feel.
Students are expected to write a number of informal reaction pieces, contribute actively to class discussion, take part in a few short creative projects, and prepare short papers and oral presentations on works of their own choice.
Students learn how to read actively, think analytically, present their ideas clearly, and work with others — all skills that will be invaluable to them in college and in their professional and personal lives. No previous knowledge or course work is required.
Instructor: Mark Blacher

10 . Puy du Fou is the second most visited theme park in France, after Paris Disneyland, and the world’s greatest, and most authentic, living history park.
Founded in 1977 by a young local aristocrat with a passion for history, Philippe de Villiers, the theme park has developed to become a multi-attraction historic theme park providing a trip back in time to different ages and times of the past.
Unlike Disneyland, Puy du Fou — while making sure that the attractions all provide a great visitor experience — also takes pride in ensuring a fair degree of historical accuracy. The sets and the shows are pictures of the world as it really was... with a few special effects added in.
In the summer holiday period (June to mid September), climax of the day is the famous “Cinéscénie”. the original event around which the Puy du Fou theme park has subsequently developed and expanded. This magnificent after-dark spectacular of light, fireworks, sound and action, set against the backdrop of the old Château du Puy du Fou, has been seen over the years by over 10 million spectators, lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes, involving 1200 actors and extras, and performed over a 50 acre stage.
