Class Procedures and Reminders
Week 13 Reading. It's more stories from the British Isles in Myth-Folklore, and the free choice continues in Indian Epics: epics, jatakas, or other Indian stories. I hope you will enjoy the stories this week!
Project Stack. I read through all the Friday assignments yesterday, so I'll start on the Saturday assignments today and hopefully some Sunday items too. Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Here is something special to share in today's announcements: Moriah in Myth-Folklore (here's her Storybook) participated in the Me Too Monologues recently, performing a story written by an OU student. You can see her video and the other videos from the performance posted at YouTube:
Blog Stream. I know a lot of you are graduating this semester, so you might enjoy the growth mindset meme that Joshua made: All I lack... is finishing up.
Free Audiobook. Today's free audiobook is The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles by Padraic Colum.
Featured Storybook. This is a wonderful Storybook from Indian Epics last year: Save Rama's Bridge.
India Item. All of you in Indian Epics have seen Hanuman in action, and here is a Hanuman folk legend: The Ebony Tree.
Myth Item. This is a Biblical work of art that is part of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art: Sacrifice of Isaac by Menashe Kadishman.
Myth Video. Today's Myth video is a song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch about the Origin of Love.
India Video. And for some more music, here is Maati Baani's beautiful tribute to India's farmers: Saccha Mitr.
Creativity. This graphic might inspire some mix-and-match writing: Space Princess.
Writing. For the punctuation humor files: Celebrity Commas.
Growth Mindset Cats. This cat knows that learning is a multi-step process: I think. I design. I create. I invent. I reflect. I learn.
And OK Go wants you to ponder the moment: The One Moment.
Event on Campus. No, it's not a Friday... but it is the day when you can make a 3D Embroidered Necklace in Bizzell today at 3PM (details). There will also be a Magic Loop workshop on Friday!
Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
