Class Procedures and Reminders
Finishing up the class. There are now 8 people who have finished up the class already, which is very cool, and I am guessing there might be one or two more this weekend. If your goal is to finish the class early, do some extra credit and/or work ahead! More information about that here: Progress Chart.
Project Stack. I got through all the Week 10 assignments in the stack, and the Week 11 and Week 12 assignments that were still left in the stack on Friday will be at the top of the stack on Monday. Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. This is actually from a Storybook rather than from a blog; it's a lovely drawing that Daana made for her latest story, Motherhood: One Daughter.
Free Audiobook. Today's free audiobook is Stories of Robin Hood by Bertha Evangeline Bush.
Featured Storybook. You will find quite a collection of characters in this project: Heroes Revealed: The Truth. Charon the boatman has ferried many heroes to the shores of the afterlife. So that you can learn just what it means to be a hero, Charon will take you to meet Heracles, Beowulf, King Arthur, and Cleopatra.
India Video. And this is another video from Epified: Why We Worship Trees.
India Item. From trees to flowers! Here's a wonderful resource: Flowers in Ancient Indian Literature.
And here are some thoughts from Grant Snider to ponder: Interior Life.
Growth Mindset Cats. The growth cats are always curious: Confront the unknown with curiosity.
Here's a fun one from the linguist John McWhorter: Are Elvish, Klingon, Dothraki and Na'vi real languages?
Event on Campus. It's Undergraduate Research Day in Wagner Hall today from 8AM - 4PM (details).
April 6. Today in India is the holiday of Ugadi (it was celebrated on April 5 in the U.S.), which is a New Year's holiday for Telugus and Kannadigas Hindus. You can read more at Wikipedia, and follow the Ugadi hashtag at Twitter to see how people are celebrating.
