"Beauty
. . . is relative; and the definition of it becomes
unmeaning
and useless
in proportion to its abstractness."
Walter Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1868;
1873)
Prepare:
read text & P.O.F.s carefully before class

Write: practice active listening--take notes and create marginalia
Respond: argue, ask questions, and propose alternatives to others' ideas
