Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I got through most of the stack, and those assignments that were left will be at the top of the stack on Monday. If you want comments back sooner rather than later, turn in your project today; don't wait until tomorrow. While you are waiting on comments back from me about your Project assignment, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
Extra Credit. Why not celebrate the end of the week with a Famous Last Words post? That and lots of other extra credit options can be found in the extra credit section of this week's assignments.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Class Twitter. From yesterday's Twitter @OnlineMythIndia, here is an international collection of illustrations for Tolkien's Hobbit. My favorite is Gandalf and Bilbo as imagined by Maurice Sendak:
Storybook Archive. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: The Search for Bo Peep's Sheep. Bo Peep has lost her sheep, but she has a whole world of nursery rhyme friends who can help her to find them.
Story of the Day. Today's story is from Aesop's fables: The Battle of the Beasts and the Birds. Which side do you think the bat should be on?
Video: The video for today is Ramayana + Mahabharata = Wisdom. I thought this would be a good video to share as the Indian Epics class gets ready to move on to the Mahabharata!
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat knows that not all effort is created equal: Make sure your effort is effective. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
Event on Campus: The Native American Studies department is hosting a lecture by Native artist Larry McNeil at 2PM in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum (details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
