The Great Books can be profoundly beneficial if one knows how to mine their riches. In this session of the Great Books Symposium, Gutenberg tutor Dr. Eliot Grasso will offer a seminar on how to lead a discussion on George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The seminar will discuss the book while developing discussion-leading tools to help students get the most out of this timeless work.
Note: We will record this session and send a link to paid registrants after the session.
