Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I'll be updating the stack periodically today, so you can check the stack to confirm that I received your email.
Dead Week. If you've been doing the assignments each week, you will finish up during Week 14 (30 points per week means you will reach 410 points during Week 14), which means you will have a Dead Week in this class. It's also fine if you want to use Week 15 to finish up; the class will be over on Friday, May 5, at noon. I've created a little reminder widget that you'll see in the blog sidebar here, and on the Week 13, Week 14, and Week 15 assignment pages, and if you have any questions about finishing the class, just let me know!
The following items are for fun and exploration:

Featured Storybook. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: Lost in the Woods: A Search Party in Peril. A young woman has gone missing in the woods, and her friends are determined to find out what has happened to her. They spread out into four separate search parties, facing the darkness with only flashlights — and stories — to help them find their way.
