Comments on: “Iron Chef” DH Challenge! http://lac2011.thatcamp.org/05/26/iron-chef-dh-challenge/ The Humanities And Technology Camp Sun, 04 Mar 2012 03:29:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 By: Michelle Kassorla http://lac2011.thatcamp.org/05/26/iron-chef-dh-challenge/#comment-576 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:20:36 +0000 http://lac2011.thatcamp.org/?p=333#comment-576 B”H

Basically, the chefs meet in two parallel well-stocked kitchens. Then, the host presents a central ingredient that they must base their cooking upon, and they cook–trying their best to make the best-tasting, most imaginative, and interesting uses of that ingredient. They have a set amount of time to complete their task. At the end, a panel of judges gives their impressions of the chef’s creations, and assigns it a score.

I was riffing off of this idea by suggesting we bring our “well stocked kitchens” of technical and literary knowledge to focus upon the central ingredient of teaching Tartuff.

Much appreciated!

Is anyone coming who teaches French lit – in French, I mean? It’s been a long time since I read Tartuffe in French. (I do think it’s a little bit of an odd requirement, but I also kind of love that someone is requiring it, and it’s wicked funny.)

Sadly, I don’t know that I’ll have much time to work on finding resources. Could we do that as part of our time at camp?

Well, I thought it would be fun to just bring ideas–even if you don’t want to read Tartuff! Any “teaching lit” sites, software, etc. is welcome . . . and if there is something Tartuff related, well, that would work too!

🙂
