Class Procedures and Reminders
Three weeks to go! Now that we are in Week 12, there are three weeks left in the semester, plus Dead Week. You can see how you are going with this progress chart, and if you have any questions about that, let me know.
Project Stack. As usual, there will be a huge stack of projects at the start of the week, and 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. Before you embark on this week's reading, maybe you will want to try a H.E.A.R.T. challenge about reading (the R starts for reading). 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 @OnlineMythIndia, here is a tweet about Salvador Dali's illustrations to Alice in Wonderland. I wanted to share this here since some of you in Myth-Folklore might be reading about Alice this week.
Storybook Archive. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: Love at First Retweet. Everybody uses Tinder: including Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf!
Story of the Day. Today's story is from Aesop's fables: The Fox and the Lion. This is a fable about facing your fears:
Video: The video for today is Why Do We Get Grades in School?. I'm not a fan of grades and grading, so I think it's very useful to realize how recent, and how arbitrary, letter grades are. There are lots of links you can explore at the PBS YouTube page for the video:
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat is looking ahead: I do not fear the winds of change. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
Event on Campus: It's first day of the Scholastic Book Fair in Ellison Hall, Room 132 (details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
