Cody Wilkinson -- Montserrat Reflection

  I'm glad to hear you enjoyed some of the things we saw on the field
  trip to MASSMoCa (the museum of contemporary art in North Adams).  
  I agree that two of the most interesting things we saw were the 
  universe timeline (for all of the reasons you describe) and the 
  five regular solid holograms.  The names for the geometric figures
  shown are the tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, the dodecahedron,
  and the icosahedron.  These figures are also called the ``Platonic
  solids" because they were heavily studied by the ancient Greeks and
  they even show up in Plato's philosophy.  

  A few technical points:  There are several places where you start a thought
  in one sentence, then continue it in a follow-up sentence fragment.
  Your first two sentences are an example:  "My favorite out of classroom 
  event we had this semester was the field trip to the art museum. Specifically, 
  the universe timeline the artists painted in the wall with all of the
  extraordinary facts of the past and inevitabilities of the future."
  Technically speaking, this is not correct because the second part is 
  not a complete sentence (there is no verb).  To do this sort of thing, the usual 
  way would be to use a *dash* before the second part.  However, here that
  does not work because the "Specfically, ... " is referring to 
  *something you saw* at the museum rather than the museum itself or 
  the event.  So to make the "Specifically, ... " a sentence that can
  stand on its own, you might do something like:

  "My favorite out-of-classroom event this semester was the field 
  trip to the art museum. Specifically thought-provoking was the universe timeline the 
  artists painted in the wall with all of the extraordinary facts of the past 
  and inevitabilities of the future."

  Note that I put in hyphens in "out-of-classroom."  You need those when
  you are making a compound adjective out of several elements: a recently-discovered
  tomb, a formerly-influential politician, ...
