Summer+Reading+for+Maritime+Studies

[|//Life of Pi//]- Yann Martel - I have copies [|//The Pearl in the Storm//]- Tori Murden McClure //[|Ahab's Wife]//- Sena Jeter Nasland - I have copies [|Pirate Latitudes]by Michael Crichton

Choose one of these books and read actively. That means annotating, sticky notes, keeping a reading journal. In your reading journal, I expect that by the end of the book you will have ten excerpts from the book that you will respond to. Excerpt and page number at the top of the page - one page response. Play around with ideas, predict, grapple, ask questions, make connections, react, find deeper meaning. Add to the discussion.

Our essential questions in this course are: Why study the maritime world? What is the importance of the maritime world to the global community? How do we save the ocean? Why must we?
