Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. If you turned in your project before 6PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me, and I'll keep on working on Sunday items today. You can always check the stack to make sure I received your project. And thank you for all the projects in the stack; I am having such a good week getting to read those stories. :-)
Writing Center. The OU Writing Center is a fantastic resource for this class, for any other class you are taking, plus any other kind of writing you might be doing, like a graduate school statement of purpose or a scholarship application. And yes, they are still offering consultations despite the campus closure. Find out more at the Writing Center website.
Blog Stream. This is actually a Storybook item instead of a blog post: despite being stuck at home, Camille was actually able to come up with the second cooking chapter of her Storybook, making ladoos at home with some creative ingredient substitutions. Plus a great story about Krishna and his brother Balarama! Epic Cooking: Ladoos.
And there's a fun Twitter-story unfolding. It started with goats... and then it got even weirder:
Indian Epics. This animation shows Rahu, the eclipse demon who chases the sun and the moon. You can read that story here:
Myth-Folklore Video. Today's Myth video is from Crash Course: The Epic of Gilgamesh. It features a famous flood myth, plus other epic stuff:
Storybooks. And speaking of floods, here's a Storybook from last year with flood-stories-as-games: Flood Myths.
H.E.A.R.T.. This is a graphic from Caro Martini to inspire your reading today; reading can take you into new worlds:
Mindset Video. And for some growth mindset inspiration, here are Janelle Monae and the Muppets:
