Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I'll update the stack periodically today; there will be a lot of projects coming in for the end of Week 2. 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. For the end of the week, I highly recommend the "Backup" extra credit option. It's a good way to look back on the past week and get ready for next week. Find out more in the extra credit section of this week's assignments.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Class Twitter. From yesterday's Twitter, Gods in Color, an exhibit of ancient statues in their original colors. You can see more @OnlineMythIndia.
Word from India. The word SHAWL comes to English via Urdu, meaning a garment made from the hair of a "shawl-goat."
Storybook Archive. This project is from the Indian Epics class: Janaki's Journal: Sita's Story in Her Own Words. After Sita returns to the earth, her twin sons find her journal, which relates the story of their mother's life as they had never heard it told before.
Video: The video for today shows How Religions Spread. It's just a rough summary, but it's a good way to start thinking about how different religious were developing in different places at different times.
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat has lots of curiosity: the will to explore. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
Weekend Event: Today's event is not on campus; instead it's the Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival and Powwow in Tuskahoma; you can find out more at the Choctaw Nation website. Here is a photo from a previous Choctaw powwow:
