Class Procedures and Reminders
Week 10 Reading. Some of you might be starting the Week 10 reading today, and I hope you will enjoy it; there is really cool stuff to read in both classes! In Indian Epics you will be choosing between Krishna and Jatakas (details) and in Myth-Folklore, it's the first of two weeks on Native American traditions (details).
Project Stack. As usual on Monday, the stack is huge, but this week it is mostly revisions instead of new stories, so hopefully I can make good progress through the stack getting comments back to you. As always you can check the stack to make sure I received your project.
