Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. Yesterday I read and replied to all the projects turned in last Friday, and today I'll start reading and replying to the Saturday projects; I should be able to start on the Sunday projects today too. You can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.
Week 13... and Thanksgiving. (repeat announcement) Because of Thanksgiving next week, Week 13 is spread out over two weeks, this week plus next week. You have your regular Tuesday reading assignment today and a story post on Wednesday. Then, you have a week off! You can finish the Week 13 assignments before Thanksgiving if you want, or you can turn those in on the weekend after Thanksgiving. Week 14 on Monday, November 28.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Reading. I hope you are all enjoying this week's reading! And the holidays are coming; for me, that means more time to read: So many books, so little time.
Mythology. Here is a fun mix of myth and science from the marvelous pen of Tom Gauld.
Featured Storybook. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: Adventure of Flight. King Zeus has set a challenge: who can find the secret of human flight? The attempt by Daedalus ends in tragedy, and things also do not turn out as planned for Perseus, so Zeus is ready to give up, when one more competitor arrives: Pegasus.
