APELC Class Notes

Objectives: APELCers processed texts from multiple genres.

Period 3 juniors and seniors, I shared with you a clip from my favorite sketch comedy of all time (see the troupe’s official site) which I thought apros pos of our next unit on process analysis.

You processed and examined the Eadweard Muybridge piece that opened the chapter and I asked you to describe the process of the bird’s flight. (For more on the artist see the Muybridge Collection at the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.) We moved to the Mitford text which elicited some neat discussion about the physical processes of death, composition, and funerary illusion. I mentioned that I want to be used in a body farm, and I also pointed to an interesting book, Stiff, by Mary Roach, which Salon excerpted, “Dead man decomposing”.

BONUS. Here’s a clip from National Geographic about body farms.
