The Vandal, Thomas Harris '18
Distinguished Student Work - Visual Arts
Underlining over ten allegories and many extended metaphors, “The Vandal,” Harris’ first self-published book, is a poetry epic about the ambiguous and emotional deposits of his own “Mary Sue,” who delves straight into one of the most versatile and unconventional exhibitions of melodrama and manipulation in the modern literary catalogue.
Harris does not hold back, making dramatic remarks as well as ensuring an alter-ego at hand through the abstract photography of his face that fills most pages. His repertoire also includes his other concept art and works from fellow artists around the world.

Building And Firing A Ceramic Kiln With Alternative Fuels, Clay Sewell
Faculty Publications & Research
As high school budgets shrink and equipment becomes more expensive and as energy prices become less stable, why not build a kiln that is entirely off the grid? This session will investigate the logic for such systems, and the materials and technology that are required to build and run them.
The "Purposes" Of Poetry, Tracy A. Townsend
The "Purposes" Of Poetry, Tracy A. Townsend
Understanding Poetry
This classroom discussion-oriented lesson, which takes between sixty to seventy minutes, exposes students to two very different poetic styles and voices (William Carlos Williams and T.S. Eliot) and challenges them to think about their own relationship to poetry. This is a useful lesson to work into the beginning of a longer unit on poetry, and can be used as a preparatory discussion for unveiling the Laureate Project assessment to your students (also available on the Digital Commons). This lesson is suitable for grades 9-12.
Triggering Subjects V. Actual Subjects, Tracy A. Townsend
Triggering Subjects V. Actual Subjects, Tracy A. Townsend
Understanding Poetry
This classroom discussion-oriented lesson, which takes between sixty to seventy minutes, involves close-reading of texts, use of evidence to convey an interpretation, and discussion of authorial purposes and techniques. Students use poet Richard Hugo’s theory of poetry having both a “triggering subject” and an “actual subject” to analyze and respond to example poems selected by the teacher. The end goal is to engage in a discussion of how poets use observation and experience to take sometimes everyday moments and convert them into thoughtful, surprising, and moving commentaries. This lesson is well-suited to preparing students to read poetry more effectively and …
