Each student contributes a Webspiration chart of a specific example to add a visual element to the presentation page.

Students write and produce audio-casts of dialogues between two characters from Genesis modeled after Bill Cosby's "Noah" pieces. The dialogues arise from the analysis of a famous painting or two featuring the characters and analysis of the text.
