Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. If you turn in something before 9PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me, and I'll keep working on the Sunday assignments today! Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email.
Mix-and-match. As we get into the last days of the class, you can mix-and-match the assignments you want to reach the grade you want for the class (410/A, 360/B, 320/C). Any combination will work! I've also added a countdown widget in the sidebar of the blog to help you make sure you are on track to finish with the grade you want before the class is over next Friday. Let me know if you have any questions as you finish up!
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Writing. Think about who's telling the story: Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.
Time. Some good advice: Just start! And for more time tips, see today's video below.
Words from Mythology. From the wandering Greek hero Odysseus we get the word ODYSSEY.
Featured Storybook. This project is from the Indian Epics class: To Sumitra, With Love. You know Sumitra as one of the wives of King Dasaratha, but in this Storybook you will see the young Sumitra as you read letters she receives from her father, a great warrior and adventurer who traveled all over ancient India.
