Read this, then come back and answer the questions. Send your answers to my email. Then spend the rest of the time working on your bundles. I'll be consulting with groups again.
1. Why do these guys think we need an alternative to Facebook? (Be specific.)
2. Are you worried about privacy concerns with Facebook?
3. If you use Facebook, what would it take to make you stop? If you don't use Facebook, what would it take to get you to join?

.
Your sole homework assignment for the rest of the year is as follows.
1. Do not do just 2 or just 3. Do 2 and 3 simultaneously.
2. You will work in eight groups of four (no more, no less).
3. You will pick one of the hundredthirty or so options available here.
4. One group, one bundle. Pick people you can work with, pick a bundle you're all interested in, etc.
5. You have the rest of this month to find the parts of the bundle and consume them. The site's sidebar has helpful links for libraries etc.
6. As you read (or watch or etc), be thinking about what all these things have in common. Their common thread is what your presentation will be on.
7. In June you will give half-hour presentations.
8. I will grade your presentation. The points will be distributed according to how you grade each other.

AP's tasks for this week.
.
We'll be officially in the D computer lab all week. As you need passes to the library etc you are welcome to them.
1. Visit this list, claim your stories, get researching.
2. On Monday May 17 you will give a presentation on both stories. Your presentation will include a brief retelling of both stories and at least one example of one of your stories being used in modern literature (1550 or later). (You might find it more useful to begin with a modern tale and deconstruct it to its classical or biblical ancestors.)
3. Because part of our goal is to unwind after all this test stuff, let's make posters too. You don't have to use both stories in your poster if you don't want to. Let's make that due the same day as the presentations.
4. Part of the reason Greek myth and the Old Testament have been so formative for Western culture is because they're dang good stories. If you not having fun with this assignment, you're doing it wrong.
5. I'm sitting right over there. Feel free to ask me questions.
6. New task coming tomorrow. But it's not "for this week" in the same way this is.
