Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. Yesterday I read and replied to all the assignments turned in last Sunday, and I should be able to get through the rest of the stack today (up to anything turned in before Thursday, and as much of Thursday as I can finish). Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I have your assignment.
Finishing the Class. Either today or this weekend, I would urge each of you to make up your plan for finishing the class based on the 5 weeks left (4 weeks if you want a true Dead Week). You can use this Grading Chart to see how you are doing, and you can strategize about which types of assignments you enjoy most/least as you decide how you will finish up the semester.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Life. A year from now... you will be glad you started today. Just start!
Punctuation. See the blog post for a full-sized view.
Words from India. This is probably one of the most widely used Sanskrit words in English: YOGA.
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.
