Donde esta Senor Stanton?

So...this was Mr. Stanton's week on the blog, but he basically didn't write anything for two days and then disappeared.

Here is a recap of what happened in class today:

  • Epic Projects: We received your projects! Thank you to those of y'all that paced yourselves (since this was assigned like a month ago), followed instructions, and had something beautiful and creative ready to go.  Those of y'all that were unable to get a project into us need to turn something in tomorrow for a 15 point deduction! A maximum of an 85 is always better than a 0.  Hopefully we're learning more about the downside of procrastination.
  • Humanities Textbooks: We issued textbooks to students in class today.  Our first reading assignment (pages 33-37) is due next Tuesday, October 17.  There are terms on the study guide that correspond with this. For those of y'all that were not issued a textbook, the reading has since been uploaded to the website.  
  • Religions Rap: We wrapped up (pun intended) our coverage of the eastern religions and philosophies with some sick rhymes.  Here are some my faves:
    • There once was a guy who sat under a tree, his only intention was to be free, then one day he found the way, to Enlightenment without horseplay
    • Hindus believe in a large cosmic order, They hoped that their path to moksha was shorter
    • Confucianism *uh* it's so real, Ain't no punishment that's our appeal, We real frugal, we real thrifty, The Analects, now that's pretty nifty 
Have a great evening, folks!
