Description
A winner of the James F. Slevin Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from Near Eastern Studies 176, Two Authors, Three Faiths: Don Quixote as the History of Medieval Iberia. Part of a content unit on Islamic science in al-Andalus, students are asked in this sequence of essays to think about the material record as another point of entry for answering historical questions that arise while reading Don Quixote. The sequence describes the steps of a final research and writing project in which students create their own museum exhibition and catalogue. Students engage in in-class and preparatory work such as oral presentations. 12 page pdf
