A bulletin board in Jeremy Butlers room is covered with drawings and printed creations made by students. My favorite project is the one I do each semester in both Ancient Mediterranean and Medieval History, I pick a topic and have students draw cartoons. This past semester in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations, I picked the Odyssey [to inspire their cartoons]. They’re encouraged to be a little humorous; they don’t have to stick to the time period or script exactly as long as they know the stops. It’s fun because if their art is bad, it’s entertaining [and] sometimes it’s so bad, it’s good. Other times it’s so good, you hang [them] up [and] use them as decorations for your class, Butler said.
