Personal Art: 10/6
Now that you have seen art from around the world, instead of the text or interviews you producted last time, how would you tell your story in art? You don't have to get the tattoo you want...but you could draw it for me. ;)

Some of you are doing an outstanding job!!
(Some of you- need to turn in your essay!)
This progress report period comes down to the essay. There are not very many points yet, and there was only ONE essay/test. So if you didn't turn it in- it killed your points. Otherwise, most people had an A+ going into the essay. If you are one of the people than needs help-- come in! I will help you write and upload. Just do it. Even a failing essay will raise your grade! :)

We may not agree with each other's point of views, but in a global community it is important that we try to understand different points of view. Archeologists as late as 1997 said that the Greeks weren't smart enough to understand that fossils were from earlier periods-- no matter how many stories they wrote or pictures they drew. Our inability to take such a rich society seriously- cost us centuries of scientific strides forward. How can we look at the stories other cultures tell, our own culture tells, with a scientific mind and learn from each other. Classwork: Watch video-discuss and work on study guide. Sign up with a partner for a culture/religion/science. Homework: research a creation story from around the world with a partner to present on Thursday/Friday. Attempt to be rational and scientific. Cite. Extra credit for correct MLA. Time to work in class on Monday/Tuesday- come prepared. Take this time to research your ancestors and the stories they told. :) We will finish the video/study guide and discussion on "which cultures gave us the first..." on Monday/Tuesday.

Most societies have a story about how the world was created, how people got here, how the earth was formed. Whether that is considered science, religion or both, it may show us something about our heritage, politics, psychology, or thoughts today. While the whole class will look at Greek Mythology, this is a chance to explore the beginnings of the universe and look into a culture that is part of who you are or one that you are curious about. Remember we are looking for the story- a primary text if possible. Mayor found the bones of dinosaurs/griffins because she read the story- not because she looked up more names and dates. You are not doing a research paper on a religion/science. You are sharing a story from around the world.
Classwork: Notes: "The Timeless Tale of the Hero's Journey." Time with partner to work on presentation. Homework: Finish presentation to share Thursday/Friday next week.
Grading on the presentation: Do you have more than once source (about 3+) and are they cited? Do you try to avoid language like: uncivilized, savage, primitive, weird, gross, etc. Be scientific. :
