The Purpose of this Blog

Your task on this blog is to write a brief summary of what we learned in class today. Include enough detail so that someone who was ill or missed the lesson can catch up with what they missed. Over the course of the term, these 'class scribe' posts will grow to be a guide book for the course, written by students for students.

With each post ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is this good enough for our guide book?
2) Will your post enable someone who wasn't here to catch up?
3) Would a graphic/video/link help to illustrate what we have learned?

  2. I've read a couple of these and made a note of some of the more intresting ones to read through later.
    I've read 'The Illiad' by Homer recently and am currently reading my way through all of the 'Sherlock Holmes' series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
