Class Procedures and Reminders
"Finished" form. I'm guessing there will be people finishing up the class this week (a few people are done already), so you will see that I added a new item to the Canvas menu, a "Finished" form that you can fill out when you are done with the class to let me know (410 for an A, 360 B, 320 C). There are three more weeks left until Thanksgiving, and then Dead Week. You might want to plan your work for Weeks 12-13-14 so that you will be finished with this class before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Project Stack. As always, the stack is huge on Monday! I will start with the projects that were turned in last week, working through the projects in the order they were turned in. Meanwhile, you can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. Hannah made this very cute meme with her dog Meeko:
India Video. Did you know the ancient Indian Gayatri Mantra is part of the Battlestar Galactica theme? It is! Click here for lyrics of the mantra and more information.
Story of the Day. The story of the day comes from Aesop's fables; it tells why the camel does not have horns, and why his ears aren't much to look at either: Jupiter and the Camel.
Writing. This is a cartoon from the great Grant Snider to inspire you in your writing this week: A Writer's Hierarchy of Needs.
Writing Video. Playing games is a great way to cultivate both your curiosity and your creativity! Here's a video about Dungeons and Dragons: Can Dungeons and Dragons Make You A Confident and Successful Person?
