Class Details
Teachers and columnists have the same goal: we want to elicit deep thinking, tell you something you didn’t know, and communicate complex ideas. Thomas L. Friedman, the Foreign Affairs Columnist for the New York Times, will focus on what sort of background and preparation is needed to become a columnist and what makes a good column-or blog! Susan Engel will focus on finding out what it takes for a teacher to get students (whatever their age) to think in new ways, learn (and retain) valuable information, and stretch their minds.
