Description
Describes how to use Pierre Bourdieu's notion of "habitus" and the modern idea of public relations to help students explore how and to what extent the punishments in MilT are or are not "fair"; students are grouped as PR advocates for each of the four principal characters. Describes a similar approach to teaching Virgil’s "Aeneid" that groups students as "embedded reporters" in one of the four nations of "Aeneid," books VII–XII.
