Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. As always on Monday, the stack is completely huge. You can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment; I'll replying to those assignments this week in the order they were turned in.
Grading Chart. The class is now 20% over (incredible but true!), so you might want to use this Grading Chart to check how you are doing. The chart lets you see the point totals week by week so you can gauge whether you are on track for the grade you want to receive in the class. If you are not on track, just make sure you do more of the assigned work, along with some extra credit to make up any assignments you might have missed.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Writing. It's a matter of both technology and culture! Find out more at the Writing Laboratory.

Featured Storybook. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: If Dragons Took Over the World. In this Storybook, dragons have indeed taken over the world. Learn the story of the dragons' struggle with mankind in the lessons that Teaching-Claws-Firebreath shares with his young dragon pupils in Dragon History class.
