Blog Assignment Eight

Today you took a test in class. How'd that go for you?

I would like two posts:

Post 1: Please tell me what you learned from this experience. Relate both the positive and challenging aspects of your work style.

Post 2: How will this experience inform or change the way you've approached the work in this class?

Note: Again, these posts must be reflective and answer the prompt. This is not a forum for critique about the class, your classmates, or me. I really want to know about you.

Blog Assignment Seven

You have read several myths, presented your myths to the class, and listened to the presentations of others. So how was the experience of listening and presenting? Did you dig the myths?

I would like two strong, reflective posts.

Post 1
Describe for me the experience of reading and retelling the myth. How did you feel about passing on these ancient stories? Did presenting give you any insights into the nature of myth itself?

Post 2
What was your experience in listening to the various presentations of your peers? Please do not use this opportunity to disparage your classmates by name, rather refer to why some of them were less engaging than others. Please do use this posting to say what you did enjoy about the myths. Did listening provide you with any real realizations or aha moments about why mythology is so enduring?
