Choose a classic novel of literary merit to read for this month (see the book list) and then create a PowerPoint in which you present a short biography of the author and a discussion of his or her style and how his or her life affected style, topics, themes, etc. and then discuss what literary period the work fits (Puritanism, Age of Reason, Romanticism, , Etc). You will need to do research on the literary periods as there are many that we have not yet discussed. Post your PowerPoint to your blog by Feb 22.
Use the following web sites as resources. If you find more add them in comments.

Woots. A PowerPoint! This should be more enjoyable than writing a paper or something else.
I hope so James. I am tired of grading papers right now.
Yea. I need to find a way to insert a picture of a cat in it and make it relevant. I resolved to do that for the rest of the semester.
Is it safe to say that most of our books are going to be in the contemporary period? Or is there a present day? I see various things, but I'm not sure which is the actual present day period.
