Class Procedures and Reminders
Week 4 Blog Comments. The blog commenting assignment is now available, with new random groups! There is also an extra credit responding option (it's available every week) if you want to read more posts by the people in your group.
Project Stack. I should be able to finish all the assignments that were turned in on or before Thursday; if you turn in something today, I will try to get to it, and if not, then you will be at the top of the stack for Monday! Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Language. The sentence "A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a pangram: it contains all the letters of the English alphabet. Find out more about pangrams at the blog post. Here's another one: The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
Writing. Wise words about writing and about life from Susan Sontag: Love words, agonize over sentences. And pay attention to the world.
Word from India. The "Lion-City" name comes from Sanskrit: SINGAPORE.
Featured Storybook. This project is from the Indian Epics class: Project Runway: Indian Epics Edition. This Storybook features both beautiful clothes and beautiful stories about Ulupi the Asura Princess, Noor Jahan the Mughal Queen, and Ganges the River Goddess. Which fashion designer do you think won this season's contest?
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat knows you don't have to cope with life all on your own: Connect with others to reduce stress. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
